Technical Specifications & Regulations

Space Requirements

- Requirements: Compatible with WeavedFloor (WeavedFloorTarget tags must be positioned at the desired origin location).
- Collider Rules: Use CharacterCollider only for the floor; avoid using it for walls or objects.
- Setting Origin: Position the WeavedFloorTarget tag at the desired origin location on the floor.

Judging Environment

- Judging Device: ViveFocusVision will be used for assessing submissions.
- Simultaneous Players: Designed for 1–4 players to interact in real time.

World Creation Guidelines

To create a playable area, position a WeavedFloorTarget tagged slot at the center floor location. The hierarchical position of the slot does not matter; if uncertain, placing it directly under the Root is advisable.
Additionally, moving users can be achieved by relocating the WeavedFloorTarget tag.

Movement Mechanics

Users must physically move to navigate; stick controllers for movement or turning are disabled. Only the presence of a WeavedFloorTarget tagged slot is needed to create suitable gameplay.

For practical usage, the WeavedFloor system (Resonite module) is available for distribution through UniPocket. This facilitates LBE-compatible world creation for the competition day.

Understanding LBE (Location-Based Entertainment)

HTC's LBE technology employs the standalone XR headset VIVE, enabling immersive free-roaming VR spaces that can expand to several hundred square meters (e.g., around 33m x 30m = up to 1,000㎡). This setup allows for simultaneous tracking and management of multiple headsets, supporting a multi-user experience where players can interact within the same physical space.
