Oculus First Contact

Description

First Contact is an official Oculus experience designed to be your entryway to Oculus Touch. Experience the magic of ‘presence’ in VR, exploring moments that feel as real as they are fantastically impossible. We’ve built a magic box full of toys and a robot guide; make a new friend, then touch, tap, bounce, hold and throw things, and play together.

What Works Well

This is a great introduction into a fully interactive virtual reality experience using the Oculus Rift and Oculus Touch controllers. Be sure to try and pick up all of the objects around you. Some may just surprise you!

Level of Interactivity

What does this mean?
The Level of Interactivity indicates how many interactive features an experience has.

For instance, a Level 1 would be a more passive experience where you will be able to look around freely, but you will not be triggering or interacting with things in the environment.  A Level 2 will provide some level of interactivity but only very basically, such as being able to move between different scenes in the experience. A Level 3 will start to incorporate some more complex interactions using a remote or controller to trigger things within the scenes. A Level 4 would be a fully interactive experience but something you are still guided through. Finally, a Level 5 would be a fully interactive experience that gives you complete control of how to use it.
