OVERVIEW

The in-car social VR app concept was created to demonstrate how VR can be used to enable a connected journey with other passengers while driving. For this purpose, we first developed a concept and design for a social VR app. It provides a virtual meeting space, designed as a vehicle, to allow for movements that resemble vehicle movements. This prevents motion sickness when using VR headsets while driving. To not only allow users to chat but also provide social activities, we implemented different rooms that can be joined. Our concept includes a meeting room, game room and party room. Users first meet in a basic vehicle where they can chat using voice and gestures. If users wish for activities they can leave the start room and join the spaceship for games or the party room to listen to music together.

Since this is only a concept, we implemented basic functionalities for demonstration purposes. This includes the scene composition, character animation, ui funcionalities and vehicle movement.
