Being a geek and VR/AR enthusiast, during the winter downtime for shooting, I decided to start a project to build a IPSC simulator using Unity and the HTC Vive. It was a fun experience, here’s where I got to in just four days. Looks like I’m getting some good feedback from the community, so I’ll just keep on going and see where this leads me.
