The 3DUI contest for 2019 tasked groups to create an “escape room” experience using passive and active haptics in virtual reality. For our submission, we created a scenario which involved saving a space elevator from destruction by using time travel and puzzle solving skills. To see all of our puzzles and implementation, please see the video below and/or the paper here.

In addition to the contest entry, we also published a workshop paper at Everyday Proxy Objects for Virtual Reality (EPOVR) at CHI ’21 on our experience creating objects for haptics which you can read here.
