Two presenters demo a Unity prototype that tracks your body with a depth sensor so you can walk through a 3D space and launch virtual fireballs with hand gestures. A mobile app in a Google Cardboard headset gives you the stereoscopic view.

What's in our stack? JavaScript, uh—
using Unity and a PrimeSense device, we were able to create an immersive 3D environment that allows one to traverse it by walking and using their own natural appendages. This is a view from the Unity web app— or the Unity desktop app. However, we have a phone that you can put in a Google Cardboard and it creates a depth image. So this would actually appear as 3-dimensional. And there are a couple extra features such as gesture recognition implemented that allows you to shoot fireballs! Fireballs!
Fireballs! Fireballs!
So this is— she's literally like pushing her arms out. You saw this earlier in the video and shooting fireballs everywhere. It's awesome. Thank you very much. Hope you enjoy.
