Hammer Length Mechanics

Hammer length mechanics

Extend and shorten your hammer by moving your arms towards or apart from each other.An experiment with movement techniques for object handling in VR.

Change the length to hit your target

I built a game prototype around the idea of having to practice a real-world movment to improve handling objects in VR.
I thought about having players to learn exactly how fast and far they have to swing they arms to control the length of the hammer.

Handling tutorial

It felt nice, so I added a little placement challenge to teach how basic handling works.

I also added

  • Dynamic scaling cubes according to hammer length and swing speed.
  • Movment tracking analysis to detect when players want to extend or shorten the hammer.
