Design & Environment.
At the heart of VR Hangar is a virtual setting that mirrors the high-tech world of military aviation. Set within a hangar, amidst a serene snowy mountain landscape, the environment houses a meticulously modeled F-35 fighter jet. The design of the hangar incorporates VRGIneers Inc.’s brand identity, subtly weaving in the company’s colors and style elements to create a space that is not only immersive but also reflective of the brand's ethos and aesthetic.
Interactive Experience.
The hangar is more than a static environment; it's an interactive space where users can explore
and engage with their surroundings. Through the integration of Ultraleap handtracking technology, users experience a new level of interaction. They can navigate the space, operate a virtual forklift,
and access different views of the jet, including a close-up of the cockpit. This interactivity is designed to demonstrate the capabilities of the headset and to familiarize users with the VR interface.
Design Implementation.
Incorporating VRGIneers Inc.'s brand identity into the hangar's design was a deliberate choice,
aimed at creating a consistent and recognizable user experience from the outset. Every element,
from the color scheme
to the layout of the hangar, was thoughtfully chosen to align with VRGIneers Inc.'s branding.
This attention to detail ensures that from the moment users enter VR Hangar, they are immersed in
an environment that is distinctly representative of the company's identity and commitment to quality.
Functionality and Purpose.
VR Hangar serves a dual purpose: it is both an introductory showcase of the VR headset’s potential and a functional, interactive environment for users to become acquainted with VR-based pilot training tools. The hangar environment and the interactive elements are designed to excite and engage users, setting the stage for the comprehensive training experiences they will encounter in their journey with VRGIneers Inc.
