River Styx

A virtual kayaking experience in the mythical word of River Styx. Navigate through the rivers of fire, hate, and forgetfulness using our handmade kayak controller, steering through rubble, rock and ruins. Discover jovial spirits, ancient gods and the arms of drowning souls across the waters between the worlds of the living and the dead. The project environment was built in Unity using free 3D assets and figures created using Volumetric footage captured with an Xbox One Kinect and Depthkit in OCAD U's game:play lab and is fully compatable with VR headsets. The game is controlled with a kayak controller that uses a gyrometer and distance sensor in order to emulate a paddling experience. Digital experience created in collaboration with Georgina Yeboah and Shikhar Juyal.
