on YouTube ↗48m

" summary

Built an accessible Google Cardboard VR hidden‑object game called Tiny Eye using Django 1.9 + DRF on Python 3.4 as the API, Unity 5 with C# and the Google Cardboard SDK as the client, Best HTTP and FullSerializer for networking and JSON, and 360 photos shot with a RICO Theta S. Levels and large assets live as asset bundles on S3 so downloads happen on demand, level data updates without App Store resubmits, iOS and Android builds deploy and the gameplay works as designed.
