Technology Used
HTC Vive
This headset is what gives the player visual access to the virtual world. It also provided sounds through headphones for complete immersion.
Leap Motion
This is a hand tracking sensor allowing the player to use his physical hands to interact with virtual elements. Thanks to this hardware, our escape game is totally free of controllers.
MSI VR ONE
This is the first backpack computer that we used when developing this game. As the backpack is wireless, it provides an untethered virtual experience.
ZOTAC VR GO
This is the second backpack computer that we used when developing this game. Similar to the MSI VR ONE, it allows the user to move freely. They function similarly, despite the different exterior.
