Designing Comfortable VR Locomotion for a Mobile Game Studio
Overview
What this challenge is about.
Designing Comfortable VR Locomotion for a Mobile Game Studio. Intermediate challenge in research. Conducting rigorous research on real questions, earn a bloc...
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Pick a defensible VR locomotion scheme for an 18-month production commitment using a within-subjects comfort study on Quest 3.
This is not a research exercise. It is the work a researcher does to produce findings that withstand scrutiny. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates summarize papers and none who have produced original findings under expert review.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Implement 3 VR locomotion schemes cleanly in one codebase
- Run a within-subjects comfort study with the SSQ
- Translate comfort data into a production design commitment
- Communicate VR design trade-offs to a non-technical studio lead
