Physical & digital combined in a Unity-powered breakout prototype 🎈 The classic Breakout game was reimagined Unity by developer ウダサン who mixed the physical and digital worlds. The coolest part is that if you let go of the controller, a ball will bump into it and make it fall. More: https://lnkd.in/gvGs62Ht #unity3d #unity #madewithunity #gamedev #indiedev #3dart

So much yes to this!! And, consider the profound implications of going even further and leveraging simple tools like smartphones, browsers, and game dynamics to engineer novel and transformative dynamics within our everyday environments. Regardless of how that lands for you, it’s crystal clear that the skills for our new digital era require a much more holistic approach—blending emotional intelligence with engineering, and the willingness to transcend familiar boundaries like walled gardens and conventional roles and routines. With more ecological sensitivity and deeper attunement to patterns that connect, we’re only constrained by the limits of our collective imagination and the moral courage to iterate toward higher order and truly regenerative outcomes. #transmedia #infinitegames #immersivetheater #socialinnovation #ecologyofmind
