EXHO VR

About the project

EXHO VR is a project to make people interested in inland shipping. People will be able to view the ship inside VR and use a ship console to control the speed and direction.

Level selection menu

The selection menu lets you scroll through the levels using the horizontal axis on the ship console.
This is done by dividing the horizontal axis range up in three parts corresponding to the three selectable levels.
The level can be started by pressing one of the two buttons bellow the vertical axis.
I made the 2D visual of the console to aid with instructions.

Ship console modifications

The console is being used for two applications. The vertical axis are actually two separate handles but both applications only pick up the opposing sides. That's why we modeled and 3D printed a part to connect both sides of the handle and avoid the named issue.

The console is tracked in virtual space by the left hand controller. To keep the alignment and console in the right position I modeled a holder for the hand controller which is attached to the console using two screws.

Git and documentation

For version control we use git and host a repository on GitLab. For the project I've set up a folder structure and documentation on how to commit and use the repository. The repository also contains a collection of plannings and information so that the other teams can keep track of each other.
