VR Interaction Design Lab is an in-house testbed that turns our R&D of physics simulations, ranging from fluids, cloth, ropes, soft-bodies, and destruction into a series of small-scale physics-based VR games.
Each prototype centers around a single simulated physics area. We focus these explorations around how the selected physics can be used as a primary interaction system in VR games along with the emergent gameplay created when combined with other physics systems.
To validate and refine the given physics system, we create a gameplay loop around it and turn said loop into a smaller scale game.
We intend for these games to be accessible to players on consumer-grade VR headsets. Depending on the teams interest, the given physics and player sentiment, we adjust the scale of these games accordingly.
Our long-term goal is to combine all the physics systems together to create a large-scale, physics-based, VR immersive sim.
