Rememblocks VR

Rememblocks VR is an immersive experience that uses simple shapes and techniques to encourage participants, both new and familiar with VR, to play and engage with a virtual environment.

There is no need to know how to use the controller buttons or learn commands - all one has to do is tap objects with their digital mallets.

Blending the extrinsic goals of a common memory game with the intrinsic goals of free play, Rememblocks VR offers an opportunity for players to test their memory. Each level requires more movement to succeed. Failures are rewarded with randomized "fail states" where blocks will explode, float, and fall.

How a player chooses to interact is up to them!

The game was created as an example of something the Digital Sideshow visitors could create using their growing skills in programming, coding, and 3D game design.

How to Play

  1. Once running, tap the "Play" cube to start.
  2. There is a count down and blocks appear.
  3. A random block will light up and a tone will play.
  4. Tap the same block that lit up.
  5. The first block and a random second block will light up and play a tone.
  6. Tap the blocks in the same order.
  7. Each time, a random block will be added to the sequence.
  8. If you wait too long or play the blocks out of order, the round ends with a random "fail" event.
  9. If you reach at least five correct cubes in the sequence, you move to a more challenging level, otherwise, the game ends.

There are eight levels. Pressing the number on the keyboard will allow you to skip levels.

Notes

It was built to have a person facilitate the game instead of a player having control over settings. However, a standalone version is planned.

Rememblocks VR was a virtual reality game I made for the Digital Sideshow that ran March 6-7, 2020, at Peebles Public Library in Adams County, Ohio.

This project was also submitted to the Virtual 2020 Ohio University Student Research and Creative Expo.

To be played in a 7 ft. x 7 ft. open space.

Use of controller buttons is not needed. Interaction is done through swinging digital "mallets."

WARNING: It is easy to run, fall, jump, and swing hard outside this space while playing, so please have a 3 ft. buffer or a loose rope border. Also, keep waiting participants outside of the play space.
