VRChances

by Posted on

VRChances is a Virtual Reality career orientation application in which users can try out different professions and complete job-related quests. The currently supported vocations are electrician and chef. A robotic guide supports the players and explains the tools and workflow of each job.

In the electrician scenario, the user installs an electric socket and a light switch. In a more advanced quest, the user then extends the electric circuit by connecting two multiway switches via traveler wires.

In the kitchen scene, the player can cut various vegetables, mix batter, and use pans and pots to cook food on the stove. The guide provides recipes and teaches the player how to cook them.

The application has been developed using the Unity game engine at Graz University of Technology, in cooperation with Jugend am Werk.
