• Networking Series: Best Effort Latency Minimization

  Motivations Designing a real time networking protocol such as Unity’s NGO or the Photon Engine is certainly no easy feat, and it can take a certain level of misplaced confidence to think that one could top the robustness of battle-tested frameworks designed and developed by hundreds and perhaps thousands of network engineers over the course…

• Pool Ball Spin Physics – Revision 1

  Although Unity has a wonderful set of physics solutions out of the box, it misses a key physics phenomenon that is absolutely essential to many sports: spin. Golf, soccer (football), bowling, billiards and many other sports rely on spins to create unexpected and exciting game plays. Given this circumstance, it would be almost tragic if…

• Anchors and Relative Rotation in XR

  One of the greatest challenges in XR development is the creation of a robust system of interactions that incorporates both real life physical interactions and interactions among various abstract hierarchical systems. Unlike traditional desktop/mobile game development, where we can design complex systems without the need for constant reparenting of transforms, XR interactions require careful deliberations…
