Our take on The Grand Canyon VR Experience
Its focus on tranquil sightseeing limits the experience's game structure. The kayak, wildlife, time changes, and nighttime flashlight provide interaction, but the format centers on visiting the environment rather than pursuing a broader set of game activities.
What is The Grand Canyon VR Experience?
Visit the Grand Canyon in virtual reality by taking a motorized kayak ride on HTC VIVE or Oculus Rift.
This experience centers on exploring a changing natural setting instead of completing standard game objectives. Virtual hands, operated with Vive or Oculus Touch, adjust the kayak’s pace. Fish respond to attempts to lure and feed them, and animal life generated by software appears throughout the canyon. A time cycle allows daytime or nighttime outings, with a flashlight for dark areas. Environmental objects can be interacted with, and room-arrangement suggestions support a darker setting for VR exploration. It is intended as an explorable virtual environment, not a conventional game.
