We just updated The Grand Canyon VR Experience to version 1.05 and are proud to announce full HTC Vive support!
HTC Vive owners will be able to explore the Grand Canyon using a unique stand-up paddleboarding mode using the motion controllers to paddle yourself forward! Try it standing up, sitting down or even lying down on the board!
Full patch notes [1.05]:
- NEW: HTC Vive stand-up paddleboarding mode
- NEW: Interaction : use a paddle to move forward, the faster you paddle the faster you move
- NEW: Red Vive wand button switches between the available interaction tools
- NEW: Interaction tool 1 : use the motion controller to throw breadcrumbs in the water -> hold down touchpad, swing your arm, release touchpad to release the breadcrumb
- NEW: Interaction tool 2 : Flashlight, best used when dark! ;) (touchpad to switch on/off)
- NEW: Completely revamped quality settings system : please experiment & find the best setting for your PC setup
