VR Innovation: Unlocking Creativity Through Headset Constraints

Airspace Defender: Mixed Reality Meets Spatial Defense

Not Suspicious has struck the bullseye with Airspace Defender, a paid mixed reality game that transports Missile Command to a whole new dimension.

Harnessing the power of hand tracking, Airspace Defender seamlessly blends the digital and physical worlds, creating a miniature warzone in your very own living room.

Tablecraft: Science Playground for the Curious Mind

For those seeking a free-to-play educational adventure, Not Suspicious has crafted Tablecraft. This interactive science playground unfolds on Quest, offering a captivating exploration of the periodic table.

"We've built functionality for educators, even though developer tools make it ridiculously hard," says Rafael Brochado, the studio's driving force.

Exploring Constraints as Frontiers for Innovation

Brochado views headset constraints as catalysts for innovation, not obstacles to be avoided.

Airspace Defender showcases Brochado's foresight in developing for limited field of view AR glasses. "We're aiming to build a compelling game ahead of Meta's developer kits," he explains.

Designer Vision Meets Technological Limits

In our in-depth conversation with Brochado, we delved into the challenges of using controllers in Tablecraft. "It cuts you off from people in the room," he notes.

The solution? Local mirroring on companion devices, a feature Brochado's team has already implemented for educational settings.

Call for Developer Support

We urge Apple, Google, and other headset makers to extend their support to developers like Brochado.

"Developer kits are crucial for unlocking the full potential of these fascinating devices," Brochado emphasizes.
