  Custom Wheelchair

Inspiration

For Vive games there are two great challenges:

1. Moving around naturally (without discomfort/nausea).
2. Leveraging the motion controllers.

Therefore, Telekinetic Wheelchair Man.

What it does

It simulates being in a wheelchair.

How I built it

1. Dove head-first into Unity.
2. Dove head-first into VR.
3. Took 4 hours to make a VR main menu... oh boy.
4. Searched for premade wheelchair model. Searched again... Made one (4 hours).
5. Searched for physics for wheelchair. Searched again. Prayed. Prayers unanswered. Hacked physics (12+ hours).
6. Scrambled to finish tutorial level. Wheels spin, wheelchair moves, telekinesis definitely involved... took deep breath.
7. Rushed to DevPost...

Challenges I ran into
