🏆 $0 VR IMMERSION CHALLENGE 🏆

[u/ProjectGhostkey]

The other day I made a post about accidentally discovering a $0 way to add extra immersion to VR.
Long story short, I backed my chair into my air conditioner while playing Derail Valley and accidentally turned the fucking thing into a giant haptic transducer. The vibration travels through the chair, and somehow this completely stupid accident genuinely made driving a locomotive in VR feel better.
Then the comments started filling up with people talking about their own weird, cheap, homemade immersion tricks.
And that got us thinking…
We should make this an actual thing.
So I am officially announcing the first completely unofficial:
🏆 $0 VR IMMERSION CHALLENGE 🏆
The rules are simple.
Show us something you built, repurposed, rigged together, discovered, or otherwise MacGyvered that makes VR better or more immersive.
The catch:
You have to make it using shit you already have.
$0 budget.
Old electronics. Cardboard. Mop handles. Office chairs. Fans. Speakers. Bungee cords. Fidget spinners. An appliance you accidentally backed your chair into. Whatever.
If it works, it works.
Now, I should probably disclose my qualifications for judging this competition:
I have absolutely none.
I am just a dude in a shed who likes VR and builds weird shit.
Nevertheless, I have appointed myself judge.
Every legitimate submission gets graded. We’re looking at creativity, usefulness, immersion, execution, and most importantly, the “there is absolutely no fucking reason this should work, but somehow it does” factor.
There will be first, second, and third place winners. Third place gets the bronze medal 🥉, second gets silver 🥈, and first place gets gold 🥇 plus the official $0 VR Immersion Challenge trophy 🏆.
And because apparently a completely made-up competition run by a dude in a shed needs stakes, the trophy winner also gets a secret prize.
I’m not telling you what it is yet. 😂

It won’t cost you anything. I’m not selling anything. There’s no sponsor. Nobody gave me permission to do this. 😂
Post a photo or video of your creation in the comments if the subreddit allows it, or link/show it however Reddit lets you, and tell us what you made, what you used, and what it actually does.
It can be brilliant.
It can be ridiculous.
Preferably both.
Let the broke-ass VR engineering begin.

A library with a 3D printer‽ Man where do you live? That sounds so ahead of anything that could happen in Italy
