Simon Optix, Hasbro new head-mounted Simon game

Although it looks like a modern XR-based interpretation of the Simon game, it's nothing like that.

This is just a wearable version of the classic electronic game Simon, just mounted over your head.

There is a coloured glass in front of your eyes and a sensor of movement that detects the position of your hands in front of the glass. You see the colour pattern highlighted on the screen, which you mimic, swiping your hand in front of the screen. The sensor detects your hand and, if it matches, you score.

Considerations:

• Fancy, led-based colourful wearable that resemble an XR headset like Microsoft Hololens
• Two devices can communicate with each other via infrared, in a local multiplayer game.
• Not a XR-based game as the shape would suggest
• Simon Air already had motion detection

Simon Says VR game

University project made by James Requa

This is a mobile VR version of Simon Says game for Google Cardboard. It presents a sequence of rooms in a dungeon. Each room has a number of orbs aligned in front of the player. These orbs light up in a certain order. The player has to click on the orbs following the same sequence. When she succeeds, she is transported in the next room.
