MazeMakerMR

An application that allows you to play 3D mazes in AR/MR/VR.
You can not only play existing mazes, but also create your own maze, so you can make your own maze, have others play it, or challenge time attack.

With only one app, you can easily experience creating and playing 3D mazes, so you can enjoy the 3D maze experience alone or with others in a variety of places, from a room in your home to a large space.

Although it is possible to play as an AR application using only a smartphone,
However, by using Dangla, you can have a more immersive experience as an MR or VR application.

A white round cursor appears in the center of the screen. Move the cursor to the menu, etc., and press the right button to make a selection.
From the system menu of the menu, you can switch between AR/MR/VR modes, switch between monocular and binocular, set the screen size, etc.

For danglers, use MR or VR mode,
For smartphones alone, set to monocular in AR mode and enjoy.
The size of the screen can be adjusted to match the size of the smartphone to adjust the appearance when using Dangla.
Basically, adjusting the screen size according to whether the smartphone screen is large or small will ensure that it is displayed beautifully.

Maze Search Mode
In the maze exploration mode, players compete for the time it takes to clear the maze by actually walking and moving through the maze from the starting point to the goal.
A maze of several meters in length is displayed in front of you for you to explore,
The maze is displayed in front of you, and as you explore the maze, you can experience the experience of actually exploring a three-dimensional maze by using the dangler in a large space and actually walking through the maze.

Maze Creation Mode
In the maze creation mode, players can create their own original mazes by placing blocks and other objects that will serve as walls in the miniature maze displayed in front of them.
By moving around the miniature maze, you can observe the maze from various angles from a bird's eye view, making it easy to create a three-dimensional maze.
After selecting blocks and other objects to be placed in the maze, you can place blocks by pressing the right button on the squares on the maze, or delete blocks if they have already been placed.
