Being There: Designing Standing VR Experiences with Tracked Controllers is a Game & App Design talk by Alex Schwartz (CEO of Owlchemy Labs), Devin Reimer (CTO of Owlchemy Labs) during the Oculus Connect 2 on September 24, 2015.

Description

Designing for standing VR with tracked controllers is a novel challenge. True 1:1 motion controls make incredible things possible. Owlchemy Labs shares their experiences designing standing VR experiences learned through the development of Job Simulator. Watch as the team discusses tracked input, considerations for real-world ergonomics, skill transference in VR, accommodating for varied height experiences, designing around the tether, and dealing with the constraints of occlusion and locomotion, among other lessons learned.
