introduction
Ghost Go is an interactive app using mixed reality technology and the MR device HoloLens. This game is an exciting and interesting world, where there will always be ghosts surrounding you. Carelessly, when you turn around, the “ghost” is already very close to you.
Players can explore this mysterious ghost world with HoloLens glasses. And they can just “click” or use voice control to interact with cute ghosts from other dimensions and different cultures.
Our Group
This project was created in the 2-week MR workshop at Korea National University of Arts. The members who took part in this workshop came from three different schools in three different countries: Communication University of China, Tokyo University of the Arts and Korea National University. These are our team members:

Our team wanted to educate children as well as adults that ghosts are nothing to be afraid of. We are hoping everyone can face the supernatural bravely.
Characters
Little Ghosts
(Casper)
Special Ghosts
(Different Types)
These ghosts will float into the room from everywhere and get closer and closer to the player. So that player needs to drive them away.
Goblin (Korea)
The goblin is a legendary creatures from Korean mythology and folklore, so we designed it in an ancient Korean aulic style, wearing gat and hanbok.
Sadako (Japan)
Sadako is the ghost girl from the famous Ring movies who appears in a cursed video tape, so we designed a “climb” animation for this girl as well as giving her the signature hair style.
Jiangshi (China)
Known as a Chinese “hopping” zombie, Jiangshi is a type of reanimated corpse in legends. In our design, the Jiangshi dresses in typical garments and hops on the ground.
Feeding on blood, the vampire is undead and only appears at midnight.We gave him a cloak and also the salient canine teeth.
Vampire (Europe)
Find them in the ghost world and try to “touch” those unique ghosts.
Get them away!
Interaction
Setting up ‘Ghost World’
If the players want approach the supernatural world, they definitely need a “key” and a cipher to unlock it.
Use “click” to pick up the Ghost Ball, which is based on a virtual logo and find the same but incomplete logo to finish it!
After that, just say the magic spell, “Appear World” to call up your own ghost world.
Drive Little Ghosts Away
The little ghosts are tricky, they flutter and will get close to player wherever they are. If the player wants the ghosts to get away, they can either click or shout “Go Away” to make the ghost back off, but not all ghost are friendly…
Special Ghosts
Look around to find a special hidden ghost, and when you do, click on it. A short musical jingle will start playing. From these characteristic melodies, you will know where the ghost comes from. So you should maybe be careful when you travel to those countries and hear that music...
