This application converts your iOS Device into an input device for your favorite compatible VR games. Use touch input and motion control to affect your virtual environment.

Currently, rotation and touch inputs from your iOS are sent over a wireless network to your PC to use in a virtual reality experience. In order to connect your smart device to your PC with a DK2, both your PC and iOS must be on the same wireless router. Your PC will automatically find the iOS device on the local network and begin transferring sensor data.

At any point, you can reset the orientation of the device and the headset by taping the screen with your right 5 fingers. There is also a small reset button on the device in the top left corner to just reset the orientation.

Check out the demos for the DK2 that can pair with this app (best experienced in a swivel chair or standing up - tested on a NVIDIA 970M):

1. Jelly Fling: https://github.com/vmohan7/NaviSpaceDemo/releases/download/v1.0.1/SpaceDemov1.0.1.zip

This demo showcases the ability to use touch and drag to fire a slingshot into orbs that are floating around you. You can also use positional and/or rotational tracking to control where the sling shot is relative to you.

2. Pirate Defense: https://github.com/vmohan7/NaviPirateDemo/releases/download/v1.0.1/PirateDemov1.0.1.zip

This demo showcases the ability to finely control the Tango device relative to you. Use the plane to deflect bombs that are fired at you from pirate ships. Note that the image you see in the plane that is controlled by Tango is an image of what is directly behind your field of vision. Use it to see incoming ships that are approaching from behind.
