With the introduction of consoles the gaming industry advanced to the next level. Gaming consoles like Xbox and PlayStation exceeded the expectation of people, the gaming industry became more and more focused on realism and intriguing gameplay and this curiosity leads to the invention of Kinect sensor which was introduced by Microsoft as a part of Xbox console. Kinect sensor introduced us to the whole new way of game playing and that is the physical interaction of user towards the game. Xbox released many Kinect base games like Kinect sports series and Blackwater (FPS Shooter) and they all intrigue the user. Now along with Kinect another technology makes an impact and that is the Virtual Reality platform which is based on the augmented reality concept. VR was firstly introduced for Virtual Reality video streaming but then it got the attention of the gaming industry. Today VR have become quite a trendy element in gaming. VR devices companies like Oculus and HTC vive have ensured a reality base experience for the user. Now there are applications that uses both VR and Kinect but there is not much development in that area because of high cost. VR and Kinect are mostly used on separate platforms Kinect on Xbox and VR on mobile or computers so there is very much less attention towards mixing Kinect and VR and the target market which are mostly the gaming zones find high end VR systems very costly. So our solution to this is to develop a singular platform game which in our case is the mobile platform which uses both Kinect and VR. This solution is less costly as compared to installing a whole system of VR, the combine cost of Kinect and Mobile VR is less than a single VR system. Our game is a virtual reality environment game based on the genre of horror survival game where a player can experience a physically interactive gameplay with real-time motion capture through Kinect. The player gets the game view in VR in every direction and with the VR a controller is also given to shoot down at the zombie enemies and survive. The Kinect keep track of the hand position and also track the body gesture to strafe or walk in game. The environment setting of the game takes place in different scenarios. So user can play in different kind of environments. Another thing that we wish to gain to promote the high level game development in Pakistan. The scope of game development is very less in Pakistan, there are some gaming studios but they are only limited to cloning concept. We think through are project we can develop a competitive gaming industry in Pakistan.enBlackwater (FPS Shooter), Xbox and VR, Xbox and PlayStationBSThesis
