Skateboard

Inspiration

I just wanted a challenge and build something fun. I cant use a skateboard in real life so i thought , could i build one i can use in VR?

What it does

The script allows any object to move forward simply by jumping on top of it and using your head to direct it. Why do i say any object? because Its an asset that ended up becoming more than just a skateboard. It can be re-purposed for many things, skateboards, hydrofoils, and more!

How we built it

It was fairly simple, I created an asset with the help of the horizon desktop editor. I requested AI to make me an asset and once i had the idea on how i wanted it to move, i shared my idea with the AI assist and helped me create the script.

Challenges we ran into

You cant really track legs so finding a way to use and move a skateboard was a challenge I had to overcome. Speed and movement sickness as well were a challenge. I had to find the perfect speed.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

You can replace the skateboard for another object, such as snowboard, hoverboard or even a hydrofoil making this asset highly reusable.

What we learned

To approach creation of assets and movement in a creative way. I had to find a way to make the skateboard move without the use of leg tracking.

What's next for Skateboard

Replace the skateboard for another object, such as snowboard, hoverboard or even a hydrofoil.
