HoloPhone3D v1.5 - 3D holograms on Windows Phone using BEPU!

[holophone3d]

Hey everyone, I'm super excited to announce that I just released Holophone3D v1.5 a unique 3D hologram app for Windows Phone and it leverages the awesomeness that is BEPU - check out the video and press release below. BEPU is utilized at almost every place in the application. Obviously BEPU does all the standard physics type stuff for interactions and mini-games but I also used it to create a 3D UI layer using raycasting (since the hologram effect prevents normal 2D UI techniques from working well). I also created a cool variant of GrabSpring - the multi-grab spring - that allows you to do full multi-touch for all interactions - including multi-touching the same item and pulling it from different directions. You should also check out how it's used in the 'Asteroid Attack' minigame - which is kinda like Fruit Ninja meets Asteroids. All of the lighting and rendering was done with the SunBurn Engine - which I highly recommend checking out - (http://www.synapsegaming.com) and I used DPSF for the particle systems. Not only was BEPU super easy to use with great example, Norbo was amazing for support. His insight and assistance on the forums was absolutely essential to delivering the kind of polished experience that I wanted to make possible. BEPU really helped me bring my creative vision to life by making physics just so easy to implement - bravo on a very impressive product. I know I've only scratched the surface of what BEPU has to offer, but I look forward to digging in deeper with some other ideas I have about how BEPU can be used to create cool experiences in HoloPhone3D. Thanks... Oh and if you download it, ratings and reviews are always appreciated!
