We present BotanicAR, a collaborative Augmented Reality (AR) game leveraging the capabilities of Meta Quest 3. With Meta Quest 3, BotanicAR integrates both augmented and virtual reality in a singular device, ensuring a minimum synchronization of 72 frames per second (FPS). BotanicAR offers a multiplayer experience for 2 to 4 users who collaboratively undertake a task: fight against a virtual plant within their real environment. The game encourages natural interaction without the need for controllers, utilizing hand gestures for enhanced immersion. Real-virtual object occlusion further integrates game elements seamlessly into reality. Beyond its playful nature, BotanicAR demonstrates potential applications in collaborative training, emergency simulations, and shared augmented reality workspaces. This innovative application fills a gap in local cooperative experiences, pushing the capabilities of the Meta Quest 3 device to the limit.

Abstract

We present BotanicAR, a collaborative Augmented Reality (AR) game leveraging the capabilities of Meta Quest 3. With Meta Quest 3, BotanicAR integrates both augmented and virtual reality in a singular device, ensuring a minimum synchronization of 72 frames per second (FPS). BotanicAR offers a multiplayer experience for 2 to 4 users who collaboratively undertake a task: fight against a virtual plant within their real environment. The game encourages natural interaction without the need for controllers, utilizing hand gestures for enhanced immersion. Real-virtual object occlusion further integrates game elements seamlessly into reality. Beyond its playful nature, BotanicAR demonstrates potential applications in collaborative training, emergency simulations, and shared augmented reality workspaces. This innovative application fills a gap in local cooperative experiences, pushing the capabilities of the Meta Quest 3 device to the limit.
