Making Magic Across Both the Virtual and Real World at PlayStation
summary
PlayStation Magic Lab prototypes with Unity and even wrote the original Unity plugin for PSVR, which enables many launch titles. Work includes Marus, a Mars reconstruction from rover photos with a one-to-one, ~7‑ft rover and spatial audio; a three tiny robots project that models gaze, pointing and blinking (no voice) to preserve believability; a Ghostbusters demo where a drone driven by PS4 AI hides behind cardboard buildings; and a 300-person canyon projection event that surprisingly works in a single test.
