Getting throwing mechanics to feel just right in VR can be tricky, especially if you’re asking the user to throw far and/or accurately. What feels right to the user is going to depend on tasks you’re asking them to perform, the hardware they’re physically holding, and their expectation of how thrown objects should behave in your virtual world.
VR Throw Lab is a collection of tools that can be used to create the throwing mechanics that are right for your VR game and maintain a consistent experience across platforms.
The package includes a playable Lab scene that can be used to test values without needing to take off the headset.
