VIRTUAL REALITY GAME · META QUEST

DEAD ORBIT

CHALLENGE

Virtual reality offers a sense of presence unlike traditional gaming, but translating familiar shooter mechanics into VR introduces new challenges. Movement, spatial awareness, and navigation can quickly become uncomfortable or disorienting, making it difficult for players to stay immersed in the environment.

OPPORTUNITY

An opportunity to rethink how players navigate, orient themselves, and interact with their surroundings. To make movement feel less like operating a game and more like inhabiting another world, where spatial awareness, physical presence, and intuitive control become part of the experience.

THE ENVIRONMENT

Dead Orbit takes place inside a full-scale space station, designed to make virtual space feel tangible. Corridors, platforms, and structures establish a sense of depth and distance, while illuminated strips cut through the darkness to define the environment and give players a sense of direction.

DESIGNING THE GAMEPLAY EXPERIENCE

01 TELEPORTATION

A teleport arc lets players choose where to move, making navigation across the station controlled and comfortable.

02 SCALE

Built at life-scale proportions, the station makes distances, platforms, and corridors feel physically legible inside the headset.

03 COMBAT INTERACTION

Controller-based interactions bring combat into the player's hands, making aiming and triggering the station's killing mechanism an active part of gameplay.

PROCESS

01 DESIGN

Conducted spatial studies to understand the station's layout, scale, and circulation patterns. Applied spatial hierarchy and way finding principles to structure interaction zones and navigation flows.

02 BUILD AND TEST

Building the environment and movement systems in Unity, then testing in the headset to refine comfort, orientation, and control.
