Project Description

Ascent is a single-player VR hiking experience developed by a team of 6 over one semester at Carnegie Mellon University’s Entertainment Technology Center. The experience uses simple body movement and foot-tracking interaction to create a relaxing journey through stylized natural landscapes. Instead of focusing on challenge or fitness, Ascent encourages players to slow down, explore at their own pace, and enjoy the atmosphere of moving through nature.
