“Cretaceous” is a VR game combined with Oculus virtual reality and Leap Motion gesture sensing.
As engaging in archaeological studies outside, geo-archaeologist Mantell was sucked into the Cretaceous period for falling into a crack in time. He has to keep himself safe within the time limit and collect enough dinosaur negatives in the jungle to testify dinosaur species; otherwise, he will not bear the high concentration of oxygen and lead the game over. In the meantime, he also has to keep himself out of dinosaurs’ eyesight for safety. How is he supposed to face the danger and complete the mission?
Dinosaur is a creature living in a time different from ours but always highly interesting humans with a large number of studies. Since the ancient times, humans understand the dinosaur age through archaeological and geological studies. Today, many related products, TV programs and movies all precisely hit the public’s taste, presenting the mysterious look of dinosaurs before our eyes. Have you ever thought that we can interact with dinosaurs face to face some day?
The debut of “Cretaceous” will bring the public an interactive feast with dinosaurs via Oculus VR head-mountable device and Leap Motion gesture sensing.
