Develop a simple yet engaging (VR) game, controlled by a physical motion platform, that transports players into a thrilling endless runner experience through an abandoned factory.
De Ontdekfabriek aims to create a unique interactive experience by combining a physical motion platform with a virtual reality (VR) game. The platform will consist of a crate mounted on three springs, allowing visitors to physically shift the crate’s position, which will be tracked and translated into game input.
Your task is to develop a VR game that immerses players in a captivating endless runner-style adventure as they “surf” through a virtual abandoned factory while perched atop a suspended crate. This innovative setup will provide an exhilarating and immersive gaming experience that aligns with De Ontdekfabriek’s mission of sparking curiosity and innovation.
The game’s narrative and visuals could draw inspiration from De Ontdekfabriek’s origins as a repurposed factory, now filled with intriguing crates housing remnants of past inventions.
The goal of this project is to create a simplified yet engaging experience that can be successfully implemented and enjoyed by visitors at De Ontdekfabriek.
