Constraints

The app was built in Unity which is predominantly used for building games.

Something simple to achieve with CSS is clunky and cumbersome in Unity. Also, unity doesn't know about responsive design.

  • App was built in Unity game engine

  • Relies on Google cardboard

  • No responsive behaviour in Unity; Controls like web or iOS/Android Native

  • All assets, even buttons had to be created as static images pngs.
