Haunted Pixels
HVRE 2015
Later that year we wanted to create a scary VR experience, so a handful of us did Haunted Pixels in less than 3 months. This is how it was described on RunJumpDev's website:
Experience a haunted trail in virtual and augmented reality! Join us for our first ever Halloween Virtual Reality Experience, Haunted Pixels, created by members of RunJumpDev and hosted by Kre8now.
Players will be wheeled away to a nightmarish landscape unparalleled in the real world, and shown horror and terror that can only be experienced in our virtual environment. Along with the VR experience we will have Halloween themed video games as well as food and drinks for a small donation. All proceeds are going toward the continuing efforts of RunJumpDev to support our local game developers.
It was HVRE's first year. The experience was a virtual haunted trail for the Samsung GearVR. We used a wheelchair on a circle to emulate the motion of moving through the experience and corrected the curve with redirection to make the player feel like they were moving in a straight line through a town overrun by aliens, a forest full of evil creatures, a haunted graveyard full of zombies, a spider infested cave, and the demon's lair. Each section of the tour was augmented with things to make the player feel like they were really there.
