VR MUST WATCH – BUTTS

@Vincent_Martel —  June 5, 2015 — Leave a comment

In the wake of this week’s Oculus Story Studio announcement of the animation project Henry, we wanted to share our own favorite VR short film, Butts. It’s more of a must Watch than a must play really. It’s not the only VR animation short out there but its execution is flawless and it’s sure to put a smile on your face.

We love how the creators describe it on their website: “Butts is an animated VR short about love, trust, and learning what it means to be truly free.” It’s an adaptation of an animated short that you can also watch on their website. It’s interesting to compare the VR experience to the original short and see how virtual reality affects the storytelling.

What do you think? Have you tried other VR animated films?

VR MUST PLAY – BLAZE RUSH

This game has been out for a while but they recently added VR support. The experience is amazing and refreshing as it is not placing the player in first person but rather in a top-down view. It works pretty well. I’ll leave you with the impressions of GameMuscleVideos.

There is so much more to VR than first-person perspective.

VR MUST PLAY – CHICKEN WALK

The team got to try this silly demo this week. Taking the role of a chicken just living the chicken life sure is interesting. What struck us though was the clever use of what we call the “Virtual Nose”. By creating the impression that the player has a nose (or a beak in this case), you reduce the effects related to simulation sickness. As we discussed in one of our first entry, simulation sickness is something we need to eliminate as much as possible.

Ars technica explains that: “Offering a fixed object that doesn’t shift as you move around a virtual world has been shown to help anchor many VR users, reducing the apparent difference between visual and sensorimotor stimuli that can lead to simulation sickness.”

Try it out and tell us how you enjoy living as a chicken!

THE JOVIAN might not be the sexiest demo out there, but it’s definitely a whole lot of fun to play. We loved the simple, yet effective gameplay and smooth controls. Absolutely worth trying it!

When it comes to showing a demo to someone new to Virtual Reality, this one has become a classic for us! Great concept plus it showcases some of the best strengths about VR. Also, great ending for both the player and people around! 🙂
