Overview

Space Exploration VR takes the player on a tour of the solar system aboard an interactive space shuttle. Each planet can be explored from inside the shuttle or on foot.

On the surface, the experience presents the features of each planet, including atmospheric conditions, wind speed and toxicity levels.

My role

  • Experience design and development in Unity
  • VR interaction with the Oculus SDK
  • 3D assets in Blender

The challenge

To be supplied

The problem or design challenge this project set out to solve.

Implementation

  1. 01

    Interactive shuttle

    The shuttle is the player's base: an interactive cockpit with the solar system outside the windows.

  2. 02

    Extravehicular activity

    The player can leave the shuttle and explore a planet's surface on foot.

  3. 03

    Environmental hazards

    Atmospheric conditions, wind speed and toxicity are part of each planet's presentation.

Design process

To be supplied

How the design developed: references, sketches, greyboxing, iterations and what changed along the way. Process images and diagrams fit here.

Results
