Immersive VR Experiences in Sports, Relaxation, Art, and Entertainment
Abstract
Ah yes Eden… but what is it?
Welcome to Eden, a vibrant tapestry of artistic expression and creative exploration. Eden transcends conventional boundaries, weaving together diverse wellness and relaxation activities, imagination, haptics, and highly optimised rendering to create a unique experience.
From captivating oil paintings to shooting hoops and swinging a racket, a serene landscape view from the sound bath, each part of Eden reflects a deep passion for art, mental and physical wellness.
I invite you to journey through a world where imagination and reality blend seamlessly, offering a glimpse into the boundless creativity that VR offers, and defines Eden’s artistic vision. Enjoy the journey of my creation

Channeling my inner Bob..
I decided to use this plan as a base for building Eden.
Put the image on a plane in Unity.. and we have lift off!
Fenced it because.. we don’t want no wandering off world.
Attention to detail is tantamount, a small gap can be the cantankerous
After adding a few assets to the scene, Eden is getting nourished.
Interactables
After adding our assets and the framework is looking decent, it’s time to add some interactable elements.
I added a water gun that shoots out red jelly beans, a tennis racket, tennis balls and basket balls.
I made sure to layer them properly to avoid collision issues.

Visual Cues and Design
How do we effectively guide players through your game world?
Lighting and Colour: We used lighting to highlight paths or objectives. Bright or contrasting colours can draw attention to specific areas.
Landmarks: We placed distinctive landmarks or structures that naturally draw the player’s attention.
Pathway Design: We used pathways, corridors, or natural landscape features that guide the player in the desired direction, towards landmarks and recreational activity
Lighting
Let there be light!

The idea behind Eden is, different sectors carry different instruments, or set of instruments that all combine to form a song that can be heard in the pub area.
