Create Assets

• 3D Models & Environment Design: High-quality 3D models should be created for domino tiles, tables, chairs, and surrounding environments to provide an immersive VR experience. Assets should be optimized to reduce poly count without sacrificing detail.
• Animations & Visual Effects: Smooth animations should be added for tile placement, interactions, and player gestures. Subtle effects, such as dust particles in the environment and realistic lighting, enhance immersion.
• Sound Design & Voice Work: Ambient sounds, realistic tile-clicking sounds, and optional background music should be recorded or sourced to enhance the game’s audio experience. Spatial audio should be used to make interactions feel more natural in VR.

A well-designed asset pipeline ensures that every element of the game—from visuals to sound—contributes to a cohesive, high-quality VR experience.

Code Interactions

• VR Interaction System: Players should be able to pick up, rotate, and place domino tiles naturally using hand-tracking or controllers. This can be achieved using Unity’s XR Interaction Toolkit or Unreal Engine’s VR Interaction framework.
• Multiplayer Logic: The game should include real-time player actions such as tile placements, gestures, and communication, synchronized via Photon or a dedicated networking solution.
• AI Opponent Behavior: AI players should make strategic decisions based on game rules and react dynamically to player moves. Machine learning-based AI could also be explored to enhance gameplay realism.
• Game Rules and Scoring System: A robust rule-based system should be coded to ensure that the game correctly enforces Cuban dominoes rules, tracks scores, and determines game outcomes fairly.

Integrate Hardware

• VR Headset Compatibility: The game should support Quest 2, Quest 3, and PCVR platforms like Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and Valve Index to reach a broader audience. OpenXR compatibility ensures flexibility across devices.
• Hand-Tracking & Controller Support: Players should have the option to interact with domino tiles using either motion controllers or hand-tracking technology, ensuring a natural and immersive experience.
• Haptic Feedback & Audio Integration: Haptic feedback should be integrated into controllers to simulate tile placement and interactions. Spatial audio should be optimized to provide realistic sound positioning.
• Performance Optimization: The game should be optimized to maintain at least 72 FPS on standalone VR headsets like Quest 2/3, ensuring a smooth and comfortable experience without motion sickness.
