Unity Game Development Intern - UDU
UDU is an innovative tech and gaming startup, on a mission to help kids be more physically active and have more fun. We dream of a future where gaming moves off the couch and into the world, where mobile games keep kids active and engaged - outdoors. That’s why we’ve developed the world's first motion controller for mobile gaming - a console-platform for real-world adventure
Haaave you met UDU? 🚀
UDU was founded by two entrepreneurs who met while working as designers at LEGO, and who share a passion for creating quality play for kids. Today the UDU team consists of more than nine talented people with experience in software, gaming, graphic, product, marketing and business development. Together we’re making a new, healthier, more exciting mobile gaming experience for kids.
In 2021, UDU is expanding. We’ve received the funding we need to begin prepping our console for mass production, building the console’s interactive games, and preparing for a huge crowdfunding product launch next year. As the product grows, so do we.
The UDU Console 💫
The UDU Console is changing the way we game, combining elements of physical and digital play to create brand-new, immersive experiences.
The Console uses cutting edge technology to create unique and captivating digital interactions with your physical surroundings:
- Machine learning algorithms track and recognize movements, gestures, and touches,
- Advanced haptics provide life-like vibration feedback, using custom-designed audio files to imitate physical touch,
- LED and visual displays create color, light, and graphic feedback, and
- Deep click squeeze and trigger buttons control the Console and in-app gameplay.
By pairing a console with a mobile phone, UDU is reinventing the way we play, see and feel games. Not to mention where we play them!
