VR - Before The Dawn

Have a first (terryfing!) hands on experience with Virtual Reality on your smartphone.

It rains, it's dark. A thunderstorm enlightens your nightmare. Use your lantern to see... Zombies everywhere!

Escape. Survive.

Finish this nightmare for good.

----------

Required Hardware:
* Google Cardboard VR Device Holder
* Headphones
* Android mobile device with good graphic capabilities

Hardware note: you can test the application with just a fairly good Android device. The Google Cardboard VR device holder is required to achieve stereoscopic vision. Headphones are needed because the game sound might confuse the microphone of your device when it expects you to talk.

----------

Required Permissions:

* Microphone to listen you: yo have to talk to an NPC!
* Memory to read/write
* Network access
* Location

If you have problems with the microphone, try to give these permissions manually to the application.

(!) CHECH OUT MICROPHONE PERMISSION MANUALLY (Android fails to ask for it sometimes). This is needed for you to "speak" to the NPC.

----------

Interactions: use your gaze, head movement and voice to interact.

----------

For further instructions see in-game notes and hints.

----------

VR might cause "simulator sickness" or dizziness in some users, specially if not accustomed to VR. If you feel any of these symptoms, please stop playing for a short time. Also, find an appropriate environment before playing: you don't need to walk in this game, but you need to be able to turn freely.

This game was a final work for a Virtual Reality specialization offered by the University of London at Coursera. I leave the link below if you are interested:

An adaption of this game was used also as a preliminary study for a thesis about VR/AR applied to training in high risk scenarios for the Engineering Faculty of the University of Buenos Aires (FIUBA), with co-direction of the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST).
