Mixed Reality for Social Good
summary
Claims a working community prototype: a Lego physical model drives a Daydream VR scene and an AR “magic window” using Tango and Daydream and Unity prefabs, syncs state over Firebase realtime DB, and triggers physical reactions via Android Things on a Raspberry Pi. Workshops produce VR passport hospital visits for kids. Notes implementation gotchas: Daydream controller emulator fix, Unity SDK versions, and a 3js web AR approach (jonan) running 60 fps on two‑year‑old phones.
