McFly Hoverboard VR

Inspiration

We love Heelys and wanted to develop something similar and fun, like a Hoverboard racing simulator!!

What it does

It simulates riding and racing on a Hoverboard - just like in the film Back to the Future.

How we built it

We used Unity for the software and built a product spec using Playstation VR and basic materials such as a wood plank, tennis ball, and lots of tape.

Challenges we ran into

Getting all the Playstation devices, such as move controller, to work. Picking up a Playstation Eye camera to detect the light from the move controller.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The board actually works!

What we learned

There are so many applications for VR in the real world but ultimately we wanted to build something fun. Jye learned how to use Unity. Agnes learned all about the design attributes within Unity, such as scale. Hunter learned how to compile plug-ins on Windows.
