Features

First Person

• Smooth movement
• Camera is corrected to fix interactions and audio direction

Motion controls

• Ranged weapon aiming

  • Two handing of rifle and shotgun
  • Properly projected crosshair in 3D space

• Melee swings

  • Fully immersive and accurate to weapon's size, even with custom models
  • Contextual hit reactions
  • Hitting enemies in the legs has a chance to incapacitate enemies for a short time, causing them to kneel in pain
  • Physics impulses are accurately applied in the hit areas, causing limbs to move upon hits

• Items

  • Items are attached to right hand when inspecting or receiving them (like ammo or syringes)
  • The map is attached to both hands to simulate holding a map in real life

Other features

• Roomscale movement
• Automatic disabling of VR features in cutscenes and full body events (though still fully 6DOF and stereoscopic)

Inverse kinematics has been loosely explored, but not working correctly. So body has been hidden for now, and re-enabled in cutscenes and events.

For curious modders

This uses a hybrid C++ plugin and Lua script, and should serve as a good example of adding VR functionality.
