VANQUISH

A VR accessory designed to blur the lines between reality by improving the user’s experience through virtual immersion

Design Challenge

FPS (First person shooter) style video games are the second highest grossing video game genre in the world. The VR gaming industry has made great leaps to improve its technology and software capabilities & improving the user experience; however, design has struggled to meet user’s needs…until now.

I designed a product that focused on the user’s needs while prioritizing aesthetic, functionality, and performance.

21-35 y/o make over 50% of the FPS gaming market

38% of gamers worldwide are between the ages of 18-35

Final Sketch Phase

After my first round of sketching I revisited my mood board and decided to soften the design language of the previous forms. 

I wanted the design to feel cohesive with the visual aesthetic of the Oculus controllers. 

Final Mockup

The VR rifle attachment provides a realistic gameplay experience by attaching to the VR controllers. The accessory can be modified and fitted with after market parts such as scopes, stocks, and barrel tips - adding a secondary level of customization for the player.
