Description

Head Mounted VR is an advanced Unreal Engine VR plugin which integrates most common VR game features in an intuitive and easy to use way for Unreal developers. It implements a physically based interaction for VR and all necessary functional for the high quality game development. Plugin was inspired by Half-life: Alyx game mechanics and brings us familiar features. Everything in this plugin is game-ready and has all necessary content for modifications.The goal of this project is to develop AAA VR quality functional available for every developer and build a great VR developers community for a strong feedback.

Physics hands

Player’s hands are fully physically based and can interact with various interactable objects. There was a huge attention paid to the physics behavior. How would the hands behave if they were stuck? How to feel the weight of the objects? What solution can help us avoid physics errors? Answers on all these questions were found and are build in in game-ready class!
