VeSIM VR - Submarine - 1 week Prototype
Unity
Underwater Explorer Vehicle Sim
Concept
A VR Vehicle Simulation - this first iteration will focus on driving a submarine
In this limited version, you will be introduced to some of the basic elements of submarine navigation, controlling depth, torque and acceleration
Features :
A simple game mechanics allow you to follow along a path made by bubble circles
Basic cockpit displays : minimap with Submarine Cockpit 3Dview
Waypoint system for whale swimming path
Current Controls are done with controllers thumbsticks ( see next step for a roadmap)
Next Step
Physics controls ( using the joystick and throttle handles)
Despite trying all possible configurations of configurable joints i never succeeded in stabilizing enough the commands so that if will aloow driving smoothly - see config screenshot above & video below
