Ocean Rift

The underwater VR experience

Ocean Rift is a Virtual Reality experience that immerses you in a vivid underwater world. Inside Ocean Rift you will find habitats full of wildlife, including dolphins, tropical fish, turtles, sea snakes, rays, sharks, whales, and even extinct prehistoric reptiles! The idea behind Ocean Rift is to showcase different techniques for simulating a vivid underwater experience in VR.

This includes experimenting with different sounds, animals, plant life, ocean current effects, particle systems (dust, bubbles etc.). There is also a horror aspect to Ocean Rift as in the deepest parts of the environment you will find a giant prehistoric Megalodon shark that has a tendancy of sneaking up on people. In all honesty you shouldn’t really go down there, and you should definitely warn anyone else thinking about trying this demo about him too!
