The main task and challenge of which we had to solve
Communication with an IoT Device over Bluetooth
When connecting a mobile app with a BLE device, it’s crucial to maintain seamless performance during demanding tasks, including spin, toss, and shake. These actions can put a lot of strain on the system, and in some cases, the device may experience a brief disconnection.
However, any interruption should either go unnoticed or be expertly optimized to keep the user fully engaged at all times.
AI algorithms for sensor fusion accelerometer and gyroscope
In terms of work, using filters for sensory fusion is just the tip of the iceberg. A portion of the algorithm is entirely exclusive, which implies their success was uncertain during the initial development stages since this is the first creation of its kind.
The primary challenge is that certain movements cause the meter readings to max out, indicating extremely high acceleration. Therefore, the development of these algorithms requires ongoing research and development.
Multi-platform Unity 2D/3D games budget optimization
Typically, the conventional approach would be to employ at least one developer for each platform or a small team of developers for Unity to create algorithms and applications for both iOS and Android platforms.
However, is it possible to divide the work in the most efficient way possible to fully utilize each team member’s potential, considering the above mentioned technologies?
Flutter & Unity solution
The importance of Unity as a technology for game creation has been shown through its practical usage. The plan was to utilize the controller in native applications.
To streamline the team’s efforts, Flutter was chosen as the primary technology for facilitating communication across both platforms, alongside the occasional use of Unity when necessary.
As a development team, Codigee was responsible for game creation, algorithm development, and ensuring the seamless operation of the application on both platforms.
Let's make something together.
