DATE: Thursday the 19th of November

We’ll try to build a game which uses VR and is not an FPS.
First Person games are the most common games in VR. Making a different kind of game, where the user is basically an observer instead of the main actor is a rather interesting challenge.

ABSTRACT
We’ll try to build a game which uses VR and is not an FPS.
First Person games are the most common games in VR. Making a different kind of game, where the user is basically an observer instead of the main actor is a rather interesting challenge. It completely changes the control scheme and the UI, and poses some interesting design challenges.
Why not a simple RTS game? Could you imagine to build a board-game like environment? Will you be able to think about a point-and-click game in VR?
