InGAME R&D – Behind the Scenes
Sound of Light
Sound of Light is a multiplayer VR sound performance project. It uses the Oculus Quest’s hand tracking feature to trigger sound with various hand gestures. The idea behind this project is to create an anonymous and non-verbal play to explore how people can engage through those alternative methods of communication and see what we can feel.
