Control your "Earth Rover" in Virtual Reality

Inspiration

In preparation for International Nodebots Day this July 30th 2016, I built this Bot that can be controlled in Virtual Reality.

When we went to Mars, we sent a Mars Rover. In Virtual Reality, I sent an Earth Rover to explore our world. I control the bot using browser using WebVR.

What it does

How I built it

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

The great thing about this hack is it uses all web technologies. Javascript is what drives it from NodeJS, Johnny-Five, Aframe.IO.
