Space Walk VR for Oculus QUEST by forthInteract
Go for a Space Walk and feel the vastness of space on Oculus Quest VR (1,2,3 or Pro)(required).
Three adventure levels:
The Earth:
Exit the space shuttle and chill out, orbiting over any part of The Earth to view the continents and oceans. Set the time-of-day to view sunrises and night lights. Complete challenges to recover satellites to the space shuttle.
Save The World!
An asteroid is heading towards Earth. Navigate through the asteroid’s tunnels to plant explosives to destroy it in a race against time. 15 levels with 3 levels of difficulty.
The Space Station.
Float around the outside of the Space Station and view the fully working Canadarm remote arm and visiting HTV supply vessels. Complete a puzzle fixing solar panels – randomly different puzzle every time.
Controls
The trigger buttons thrust forward and backwards in the direction you are looking. Alternatively, the left and right thumbsticks allow you to thrust forwards, backwards, sideways and rotate / roll.
The grip buttons grab objects
Buttons A, X or Menu open the options menu.
Motion SicknessNot everyone is cut out to be an astronaut so if you are easily affected by motion sickness in VR, then this app probably isn’t for you. That said, there are a couple of things that will help:
- Use the right trigger button to move in the direction you are looking, rather than using the joysticks to move and rotate. Stick to slow turns.
- In the Earth scene, set the Earth animations to “OFF” to make your position over the Earth instantly jump between locations when you change it, rather than smoothly animating which gives the sensation of flying across the Earth.
- Just because you can do back-flips and rolls, maybe don’t!
- Leave Auto-Stabilize on (it is on by default). Only the very bravest switch this off to give a truly weightless feel!
