Horror Ride
A VR horror experience played from a motion egg-chair, dropping guests onto a haunted roller coaster.
Horror Ride is a VR game that drops guests onto a horror-themed roller coaster. We built it in Building Virtual Worlds on a team of five, two of us programming.
The concept
Horror Ride is played from a motion egg-chair rather than an ordinary seat. Strapping in as the coaster lurches and drops heightens the sense of being trapped, the same helpless feeling as being stuck in a wheelchair inside a haunted house. The physical chair becomes part of the scare, blurring the line between the ride you see in the headset and the one your body feels.
My role
As one of the team's two programmers, I worked on the VR experience in Unity.
