Alone At Sea.
Float on a raft and experience the solitude and isolation of an open ocean.
Explore the raft from the famous Kon Tiki expedition.
Climb the ladder into the crows nest.
Turn on the radio for appropriate background music.


UPDATE (August 12, 2014):
DK2 version now available for Windows and Mac, SDK 0.4.1.

Notes: there seems to be issues with positional camera location and in-game player height. Pressing "r"
will center camera and may alter player scale depending on where your camera is mounted.

This demo made me really excited for the future MYST like VR games.

It also made me realize that binaural audio processing will be SOOOO incredibly important to establish presence.

Nice job! Wicked experience!

just saw this one reddit. I enjoyed it a lot. scale felt just right, good attention to detail and quite relaxing. well done Agua!


It looks amazing.
Now, if Kindle reader can be incorporated into these dioramas then people will be able to read a book in an amazing range of locations. Haunted old house? Oak-panelled library?

This is fantastic. It felt so good to be there. Perhaps some shark fins circling in the water or that parrot up on the rigging?

This is one of the nicer looking demos I've tried so far with my Rift. Really nice attention to detail.

The water looks a bit strange/unrealistic to me but everything else looks great.

Maybe you could add random weather effects, like passing rain or thunderstorms, would really add to (an already cool) experience.

Excellent experience and great DK2 implementation. It worked in direct mode for me unlike most other demos right now.

This.

And one in a cottage with a thunderstorm outside, one in a wood-panelled study, a ski-chalet...

I think I need to get harder at work on UE4...
