The exhibition was in the HfK’s building were the music department is. Understanding that the majority of visiotrs would be inexpirienced with technology, it was important to design the controls to be as intuitive as possible.
My Solution: The Game works without controls and the only means to inteact with the world is the players perspective. Being able to turn your head freely and observe the world as you like is one of the unique features of VR. The player is guided along a fixed path, but only after looking into the right direction for a certain amount of time. The direction is communicated through light spots and sounds. This allows the player to stay in control of when to progress to the next section and ensures that player looks in the direction of the movement, to avoid motion sickness as much as possible.
How it works: 🔗
The player constantly fires a ray / linetrace. If the player looks long enough at the next triggerbox, the game progresses. The first of each level involves a room in which the player can’t see and is encouraged to look around. The player is thought were to look at by working with lights and sounds.
