💠 System Architecture

Core Components

• Gameplay Manager – handles state transitions
• XR Interaction Toolkit – gesture recognition & physics
• Procedural Environment – trees, lighting, terrain
• Physics Engine – linear projectile equations:

$$x(t) = v₀ · t · cos(θ)\\\ y(t) = v₀ · t · sin(θ) − ½gt²$$

🧪 Development Journey

1. Initial Setup

   • Meta XR + Unity 2022 LTS
   • Compatibility troubleshooting
   • VR rig configuration and asset pipeline
   

2. Asset Integration

   • Imported bow, target models
   • Re-designed environment (terrain, trees, sky)
   

3. C# Scripting

   • Arrow spawning
   • Bowstring pull detection
   • Hit detection & scoring
   

4. Optimization

   • Light baking
   • Level-of-Detail meshes
   • Reducing lag on Meta Quest
   

🚀 Installation & Setup

✔ Requirements

• Unity 2022 LTS
• Meta Quest 2 / 3 or Oculus Link
• Unity XR Interaction Toolkit
• Meta XR Plugin

How to Run

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/kalpthakkar/MindFit-Realm.git

🔬 Algorithmic Innovations

1. Physics-Based Trajectory Simulation

2. Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment (DDA)

   🧬 Difficulty adjusts based on user performance:

   𝑁𝑒𝑤𝐷𝑖𝑓𝑓𝑖𝑐𝑢𝑙𝑡𝑦 = 𝐶𝑢𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡𝐷𝑖𝑓𝑓𝑖𝑐𝑢𝑙𝑡𝑦 + 𝑘 ∗ (𝑃𝑙𝑎𝑦𝑒𝑟𝑆𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑒 − 𝐵𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑒)
   

   Metrics used:

   • Hit accuracy
   • Time to release
   • Target streaks

3. Procedural Environment

   •   Perlin noise terrain
   •   Randomized asset
   •   Dynamic skyboxes & ambient audio
   
   

4. (Future) Biometric Adaptation

   •   Heart rate
   •   Breathing cues
   •   Mood-adaptive lighting & sound
