Sanctum VR

This is an environment prototype created for a mobile VR currently in development.  The scene can be viewed in WebGL format through the link below. 

The scene was originally intended to be viewed using Google Cardboard or other mobile VR headsets, and interacted with using gaze-based interaction methods.  Developed in Unity3D, the WebGL version allows you to use your mouse to look around the environment and aim the center of the screen at the floating crystals in the distance to activate the gaze-based interaction.  After two seconds you will be teleported to the crystal you focused on. 

You are rooted to the spot as mobile VR does not yet track head location, only head rotation.  The teleportation based travel is to avoid nausea caused by typical methods of player movement traditional used in non-VR based games.

Stay tuned for more updates and new demos as the project develops!
