Encouraging mental and physical wellness through movement and music in Virtual Reality.

BearHammer Games正在开发一个虚拟现实（VR）应用程序，通过四种风格的动作输入和游戏玩法，在自然的户外环境中将音乐引导的动作游戏化，这些动作输入和游戏玩法的灵感来自武术和健身：射箭，绳索，投掷/空气拳和Bo员工。游戏在音乐的高强度健身和恢复健身和减压的时刻之间交替进行，鼓励在舒适的环境中进行低强度运动和伸展。在游戏的放松环境中，用户可以通过按照自己的节奏进行放松活动来与周围环境互动，可能的例子包括击落挂在树上的苹果，收集宝石使用涟漪运动从绳子，并与书籍在一个舒适的图书馆。在支持自由形式舞蹈的游戏区域中，特定的动作会引发环境的反应，使树叶和蝴蝶在用户周围盘旋。音乐和环境将一致行动，由用户的动作触发。我们的应用程序将提供无与伦比的视觉效果，复杂的用户动作和定制音乐的组合，以匹配我们的环境，情绪和目标。该项目在VR健身类型上进行了创新，将幻想元素引入到VR中从未见过的节奏游戏中，让玩家体验在幻想环境中成为巫师的兴奋和放松。Creative Catalyst Grant允许我们的团队完成应用程序原型的开发。这个原型将确保VR平台的移植赠款，提高我们产品的整体成功率。

BearHammer Games are developing a virtual reality (VR) application that gameifies music-guided movements in a natural outdoor setting via four styles of movement input and gameplay inspired by martial arts and fitness: Archery, Ropes, Throw/Air-punch, and Bo staff. The game alternates between moments of higher intensity fitness set to music and moments of restorative fitness and stress reduction that encourage low intensity movement and stretching in cozy environment.In the relaxing environment of the game, users can interact with their surroundings by doing relaxing activities at their own pace, with possible examples such as shooting down an apple hanging from a tree, collecting gems using ripple movements from ropes, and interacting with books in a cozy library. In areas of the game which support free-form dancing, specific movements initiate responses from the environment, making leaves and butterflies swirl around the user. The music and environments will behave in unison, triggered by the user's movements. Our application will offer an unparalleled combination of visuals, intricate user movements, and custom music matching our environments, moods, and objectives.This project innovates on the VR fitness genre by introducing fantasy elements to rhythm based gameplay not seen before in VR, allowing players to experience both the excitement and relaxation of being a wizard in a fantasy environment. The Creative Catalyst Grant allows our team to complete the development of an application prototype. This prototype will secure porting grants to VR platforms, increasing the overall success rate of our product.
