/vr/ : Virtual Reality

tiltbrush is rather good for VR graphical design

This is actually something I've been thinking a lot about since VR became a thing. There's already an established design lexicon for 2D menus that we navigate with controllers, but how does that change with something as fundamentally different as VR? Can anything be improved, or is there even a need to improve it at all?

I'm by no means any sort of expert, though. Extremely limited programming knowledge and basically no real-world examples to show - would you consider taking on someone who'd be learning alongside you?

/gd/gd/ here.

Currently I'm building a VR game in Unreal and the majority of what I'm finding is that a lot of the UI/UX techniques for mobile carry over better than tradition large scale UI systems like game menus or webpage design.

The real key issue I'm seeing seems to be that people have only been using the montion controller as a sort of laser pointer mouse and using the trigger as a left mouse click, and it feels off since games have never used a trigger to select before. It also means that you end up feeling like you are trying to poke a button with a stick rather than with your finger; which isn't nearly as easy for the majoroty of people; even more so when the buttons are small or require a half pull to use.

So in terms of VR UX, I'm trying to find a good sliding action method like Minority Report that works with a mobile design. So far results seem good, but I'm worried it will need predictive programming to understand what the user is trying to do and I don't think my studio will have the time or budget to get a system like that in place; game mechanics always take priority.

You seem pretty well informed about about VR is there any other way we can get into contact with you?

am I the only one surprised that this thread exists here instead of in >>>/3/ ?

You can just ask here on /gd/. I typically check it 3-5 times a day.

What we're interested in making is a somewhat interactive vr video. I don't expect there to much of a variance between the design of a video and a game. What programs would you recommend we use? Could you post a link to it

I highly doubt they police this board as much as the /b/ or /pol/ so it would be pretty surprising if they actually took the time out to move this thread

For an interactive video, Unreal. Their new sequencer is a great tool for cinematics.

I'm sure you could also do it in Unity, or some other program that isn't a game engine, but those you would need to find for yourself.

Thanks for the help mate
