Laval Virtual - Limited Time 30h Competition Winner

In the context of my capstone project at Polytechnique Montreal, I participated in the Laval Virtual - Limited Time 30h competition in Laval, France with 3 other students. As the name implies, we developed an application in a non stop 30h window using the Leap Motion and the Tobii REX Eye Tracker. Furthermore, we had to integrate a mystery object in our project to qualify. Our team's object was a shoehorn if you can believe it :).

We were one of two teams who used both technologies in our application out of the 14. 

The story of our game was of an individual who, late for work, has to jump out of the shower and walk on his shoes to avoid slipping on the tile floor with his wet feet to get out the door and to work before his alarm clock goes off. (Lets forgo the fact that he doesn't get dressed between the moment he steps out of the shower and leaves for work.)

The eye tracker was used to let the player move from left to right in the scene by looking to the left or the right. The Leap Motion was used to control the shoehorns and select the next shoe. If the player misses a shoe and hits the tile floor he falls and if he doesn't select a shoe before the shadows under the shoehorns disappear he also falls. If he reaches the end of the corridor before the alarm is elapsed he wins, or else he loses. Exhausting as this event was, I had a great deal of fun playing with the eye tracking. The feeling of actually having control over something with your eyes, an organ which previously had no actual consequences in the real world when moved around, was really special.
