Superhuman sports in mixed reality: the multi-player game League of Lasers
In recent years, many promising developments have taken place around augmented, virtual and mixed-reality technology. One could wonder whether these technologies can be combined to yield a mix of video games and sports, involving physical activities previously deemed impossible: creating a superhuman sport. This work investigates how mixed-reality can be used to create a fun, intuitive and engaging superhuman sport. To this end, the game League of Lasers was developed, in which two teams compete in a mix between foot-ball and Pong, using the physical movement of the players as main means to interact within mixed-reality. An evaluation of League ofLasers with a user study with 32 participants showed that League of Lasers is perceived as a fun and immersive skill-based game.
