A virtual bicycle ride through a future city

City Trip VR was a public virtual-reality installation designed to make a future version of Odense tangible. Visitors put on an Oculus Rift headset, climbed on a rebuilt bicycle and cycled through a Unity 3D model inspired by the redevelopment of Thomas B. Thriges Gade.

I developed the experience from concept to working prototype: translating a bicycle into a physical controller, building the real-time 3D environment and designing the interaction flow for a festival audience. The result combined VR, a custom hardware interface and game-engine software to turn an urban-development proposal into a direct, embodied experience.
