CTrollaball demonstrates a “Mixed Reality” interface to a 3D Virtual Reality (VR) environment. Mixed-Reality is where the real-world and VR co-mingle. CloudTurbine (CT) is a capable and efficient infrastructure for connecting these worlds.
We are working to generalize this demo to become a multi-purpose Mixed Reality API, making it easy to share data streams between VR environments and the real-world, bridging applications along the “Virtuality Continuum”:
- Multi-player, multi-world mode
- In-game “instant replay”
- Remote monitoring via browsers
- 3D world-event recordings with immersive playback
- Custom sensor displays and charts
- On-the-fly participants (real and virtual)
- Red and Blue players compete in multiplayer mode
- Green Biplane is replayed forward and backward in time
- Yellow Ball displays external webcam video (recorded by CTstream)
- Blue Biplane follows Xplane flight track (captured by UDP2CT)

Note: these are recordings served over the Internet. Live Unity application plays smoother.
