In the BB Boom project, one of the main challenges was to successfully implement AR technologies that combined a multiplayer sports arcade with elements of virtual pet care. The challenge was to ensure that these different elements would combine and together create a harmonious gaming experience. Thanks to the well-coordinated work of all team members and constant communication with the customer, the project turned out to be excellent, and most importantly, it realized our client's request.
