Creating Star Wars: Lightsaber Escape

Conference

Based on my Tech Lead experience from the Google / Disney / ILM / 72andSunny "Star Wars: Lightsaber Escape" - a second-screen 3D WebGL experience where your phone becomes a lightsaber, released in December 2015 for the premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, I'm going to share insights for how we built it both from the front end and backend point of view. The talk is open for questions and is thought-provoking.

Agenda: - Technologies used - Production process - Believable lightsaber control model - Backend infrastructure supporting millions of players worldwide - Physics implementation - Performance optimisation: graphics, physics, latency
