KENDO GAKKO RELEASE DEMO
ABOUT THE PROJECT
A fun, interactive, and educational introduction to the fine Japanese art of Kendo.
Kendō Gakkō (Kendo School) is a mixed media experience where users can practice Kendo sword techniques and learn Japanese language skills.
The experience will involve the cooperation of two players, one acting as the student with an Oculus Rift VR headset, the other acting as the Master on a mobile device of their choice.
The master will define a specific set of Kendo striking techniques for the student to execute in sequence. As the difficulty is increased, the student will have to learn and apply what they learn about the Japanese language and Kendo techniques to complete their Master's instructions.
Do you have what it takes to graduate from Kendo School?
