Summary

Fun Propulsion Labs at Google has released an updated version of their open-source Android game, Pie Noon, which now supports Google Cardboard, allowing players to experience the game in virtual reality using their Android phones. By utilizing the Cardboard SDK for Android, the team simplified tasks such as head tracking and rendering, enabling players to engage in interactive gameplay where they select targets by looking at them and throw pies with a flick. The update reflects the lab's ongoing commitment to advancing gaming technologies, as seen in their previous work with tools like FlatBuffers, Pindrop, and Motive, all integrated into Pie Noon. Players can explore the virtual reality adaptation by downloading the game from Google Play or examining the source code to understand the transition process.
