Hi folks,
We’re very proud to announce the release of our full documentation and sample projects (web and UE5) for a bridge solution between Unreal Engine 5 and a particular blockchain - the Internet Computer.
There’s a lot to unpack but we hope we did a decent job with our medium post describing it all:
This documentation is just a first step, it covers linking a PC app to a web app, opened on the same local network. It made a lot of practical sense for our specific use case where we wanted to have a PC VR app reading NFT data from the blockchain. We’ll expand this to be more platform agnostic in the future.
VR is perhaps not the ideal medium to directly handle cryptographic authentication and transactions so our idea was to have a companion web app, hosted on-chain, handling all the crypto stuff and have a bridge between the VR app and this web app.
This also works great for mobileVR which, to our knowledge, don’t support full cryptographic standards like a modern iOS/Windows/Android device would.
Too see more about what we did with the link you can check out our trailer video:

We’re very curios to hear what your thoughts are on crypto x Unreal Engine, if you have any exposure to the IC (Internet Computer) blockchain and, obviously, what you think about the bridge sample project.
