Oculus walking the plank

Hello,I hope I am in the right forum here. I am new to Unreal Engine and have received a request from a customer. He wants me to create a VR application for the Oculus Quest 2 similar to Richies Plank Experience but with a different setting. He wants in detail a plank run according to his ideas. Now I have already seen some videos on Youtube how to get an application on the VR glasses, but what I don’t know is how to realize a real movement (the real walking over the plank) in the UE. Is that possible at all?Thanks in advance Astrotronic (Astrotronic) May 11, 2023, 3:54pm 2 Hi Pixler,Welcome to the Forums,Your position in space is tracked with the Quest 2, so you’d be able to realize real movement by moving in the real world.The important part would be calibrating so that you can make the best use of the VR playspace. This can be done by holding the ‘Oculus’ button on your right hand, or with the ‘Reset Orientation and Position’ Blueprint node.

As VR games go, Richie’s Plank Experience is probably one of the most recognisable even if you don’t know it by name; it’s the source of hundreds, if not thousands, of YouTube videos in which relatives – often elderly – are given their first taste of VR…and usually freak out spectacularly.So what’s it all about then? At its simplest, it really is just a way to show off the potential of VR to take you somewhere unexpected, as well as testing your tolerance and courage. You start on the street and walk into a lift (or elevator, for my readers across the pond), which takes you to the top floor of a skyscraper – when the doors open, all that’s there is a long, thin wooden plank. Are you brave enough to step out onto it, so high above ground level? How about stepping off the plank and falling to your death?And that’s it, really. Or at least that’s the basic experience (it’s cool that there’s the option to calibrate the game and use a real plank to play too). You can see what’s so appealing about using it to introduce VR to friends and family; it’s immediate, it’s short and the sense of scale and immersion is pretty impressive, even if the visuals are a tad dated in comparison to more recent Oculus Quest 2 titles – and there’s a lack of accessibility options, including recentering, available in-game without heading to the pause menu, which makes things a bit fiddly at times; especially as quite a bit of space is needed for the experience to work properly.Since launch, however, the experience has been added to with a number of fun, sometimes very scary, extras. Hero Academy adds three flight-based, time trial modes to the game – a firefighting race

Need more space for VR? Using Oculus Quest 2 outside might sound like a bright idea but, in practice, brightness is kind of the problem.Using Oculus Quest 2 outside could make VR a lot more immersive. Find a space big enough and, theoretically, you could start walking around virtual environments physically instead of using less immersive means like teleportation or smooth locomotion.With that in mind, we took Facebook’s new standalone headset out for a spin on a dreary day in a London park last week. We had hoped that the UK’s dependably overcast weather and Quest 2’s fresher hardware might help the headset succeed where its predecessor fell short.Using Oculus Quest 2 OutdoorsSadly, that wasn’t quite the case. As you can see in the video above, we could use the Oculus Quest 2 headset itself pretty easily outdoors. The inside-out tracking would have a few wobbles, but you can walk around environments without much hassle. The only problem is that your hands won’t come with you; Quest 2’s cameras aren’t really able to pick up the Touch controllers in even slightly brighter surroundings than your traditional indoor environment. I could get spare, spotty moments of tracking when under the shade of a tree, for example, but standing out in the middle of a field the controllers hardly ever picked up. Instead, their virtual representations were left dangling from where I started.Playing games like Superhot VR was out of the question, then, though I did go for a stroll in the Oculus Home environment and even take a trip down a New Orleans neighborhood in The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners. And, in fairness, even without controllers, this is a pretty amazing experience. Poking around the new Oculus Home reveals plenty of easter eggs and surprising glitches. With the headset’s Guardian

To the senses if you're not prepped for it. 9 RUSH Virtual reality games that have anything to do with flying, large drops, or even fast movements are bound to make someone feel sick with nerves, and Oculus' Rush is no different. Immersing yourself in a flying wingsuit is a flight experience like never before. Not only will the physical flight have your heart racing, but you must also dodge everything along the way. You'll be plummeting down sheer drops, avoiding mountain peaks and canyons as you race to the finish line. 8 Thumper You'll be traveling at lightning-fast speeds in Thumper. The game is for the brave-hearted and those experienced with high-intensity virtual gaming. If the race isn't scary enough, you crash through deathly obstacles and lack control. The possibilities in this game are endless while being absolutely terrifying. With boss battles, new moves available, and an explosion of flashing colors, the game's simple controls will have your body filled with adrenaline. 7 The Climb 2 Watching The Climb 2's trailer alone can induce mild nausea, let alone experiencing it firsthand in virtual reality. As it says in the title, this Oculus Quest game is about climbing. Experience different environments and venues as you try not to fall to your death. Play in single-player or compete with friends to see who will win in the race to the top. Try and find shortcuts by jumping to different reaching points. Climb without ropes as the possibilities lay endless, though your stomach might not be thanking you. 6 Echo VR This adventure virtual reality game was originally released in 2017 but still holds up for its high intensity. Abort Saturn and experience zero gravity as you've always imagined. Although it sounds fun, it might have your stomach doing somersaults. Push off and grab your surroundings to move. The free-to-play game can be played solo or with friends, but the high energy competition coupled with a lack of moment control means Echo VR is better left for more experienced players. 5 End Space Close calls with death are a popular part of the End Space experience. Fly in space while fighting against battleships and dodging bullets. But be careful, there'll be explosions everywhere. As the most advanced starfighter, everyone is relying on you. Battle for control of the Tartarus sector by protecting, defending, and controlling the battleship. There's a lot on the line when you're flying through, but avoiding death is your primary concern. 4 Richie's Plank Experience Richie's Plank Experience is terrifying. Riding up the lift, you're left with open doors leading onto a plank high in the sky. The drop and view will leave you scarred for life. Despite its

Boundary turned off via developer mode (which we don’t recommend you do yourself), I discovered a secret garden, found a virtual version of the Quest 2 case and even mustered the energy to cross a chasm and reach a rope bridge.There’s also something to be said for the sheer terror of actually running away from a zombie instead of pushing a thumbstick forward. You’ll know what I mean if you’ve ever tried location-based VR like The Void. If it had worked properly, I’d probably even start using Oculus Quest 2 outside pretty regularly.But without those controllers, it’s basically impossible to fully utilize Oculus Quest 2 outside right now. Plus, don’t forget that many games and apps simply aren’t built to support this kind of motion. In The Walking Dead, for example, I’d find myself sinking into the floor when walking up inclines because the game isn’t recognizing my movement as a form of input. Oh, and it’s a similar story for Quest 2’s hand-tracking – I couldn’t get it to work at all.So there you go. No, you can’t really use Oculus Quest 2 outside, unless you simply want to walk around a virtual space. Perhaps on a day especially overcast even for a UK winter, or in the fleeting moments of dusk, you’d get better performance, but those are conditions so specific (not to mention very chilly too) we wouldn’t count on this as a major feature. Maybe that’s one direction Facebook could take Oculus Quest 3? We’d cross our hand-tracked fingers… if we could see them.Have you tried using Oculus Quest 2 outside? Did you have any success?
