Mercury Energy Virtually Wonderful

A selection of screenshots from our VR driving experience for Mercury Energy. This is a promotional piece to promote clean energy and the various services that Mercury Energy provides.

It's an event-based experience which supports up to four players, who all sit in Mercury's "Evie" (an electrically-retrofitted 1957 Ford Fairlane) wearing HTC Vive Headsets.

This was a team project, and a lot of the assets were from store packages that were adjusted to suit our game. My main involvement was creating the "Evie" vehicle, as well as working with our intern, Chen, on a number of unique buildings, billboards, vehicles, and other props to make the environment look more like New Zealand. I also spent a lot of time on optimization and performance testing.
