Title: Manus Play

Client: Manus VR, Manus VR has bridged a crucial gap between the physical and virtual world. With a focus on intuitive hand interaction, design and durability we bring the most immersive experience to VR.

The goal of this project is to create a demo which shows the strong suits of the Manus-VR glove. This demo will consist out of several physical interactions which will be tied together in a short narrative experience.

Description: A short interactive experience where the player has to keep a machine running by performing repairs. The interactions are designed in such a way to illustrate the power and uniqueness of the VR glove.

Team:

  • Frank Hartman, focus on core interaction and the physics plug-in of Manus VR.
  • Martijn van Buul, focus on research before design and the game loop.

Big design decisions were always decided with the two of us.

Features:

  • Interaction in VR with your own hands.
  • Physical interaction with multiple machines.
  • Short narrative which will guide you through the demo

Platform: Windows
