Learning to sail using HTC Vive
We’ve started working on porting MarineVerse sailing apps and games to HTC Vive.
Vive offers room scale, fully immersive environment. You can walk around the room, and position of your head, hands and body is tracked and represented exactly in a virtual world.
This technology gives fantastic opportunity to create immersive learning environment, much more so than Cardboard or GearVR.
Last weekend we’ve created 2 prototypes, by porting and adapting to Vive two of our GearVR products: “VR Regatta” and “Sailing Terms”.
Have a look at game play from “Sailing Terms”:

Four days of hard work and intense thinking :-)
