Roomscale VR: DIY Dreamatoriums
summary
Builds room‑scale VR for 3×6 to 6×6 spaces using off‑the‑shelf headsets and custom rigs: Gear VR running Unity, OptiTrack motion‑capture with eight cameras, ten tracked props, and wireless backpacks (homebrew MSI rigs with external batteries). Designs include a Mayan escape room with magnets and click‑in statues, a team shooter with 3D‑scanned heads and leaderboards, and a haunted non‑Euclidean walk; issues include battery beeps, drunk players charging walls, and people trying to run out, but overall prototypes and physical props make interactions reliable.
