Originally imagined as an augmented reality demo that would detect your speed on a self-balancing electric scooter, Scooter Warpspeed also used the Dragonfly prototype. The project would display “warp speed” stars flying past you as you went forward on the scooter. (We have several of these scooters around the office and our engineers love them — pedestrians beware!) Due to safety concerns, the team ultimately decided to make it into a sit-down space simulator where stars, comets, space dust, and planets fly past you. Occasionally, you get surrounded by a burst of thousands of stars.
- Rift DK2
- Oculus Runtime 0.5.0.1 or newer
- Windows
- Unity 5.0.2f1
Building with more recent versions of Unity will probably require some upkeep, considering built-in VR support was added in Unity 5.1!
