![]() This is not Robomodo’s first foray into VR, having worked with Three One Zero on their VR title Adf1ft and are also working on their latest untitled VR project. Interestingly enough for a VR game, when you raise the camera to your face and switch to viewfinder mode, you are going from 3D to 2D, something that may have been challenging to pull off but also mirrors more closely to actual photography. “Working on the Tony Hawk games, we had already experienced the thrill of standing on a half pipe while skaters flew over us, so it was easy to pinpoint that as our target,” commented Tsui. Robomodo was founded by veteran developers who’ve worked on franchises such as Mortal Kombat, WWE, Fight Night, and of course Tony Hawk. The team decided to tackle skate photography first since that was a subject they were most familiar with. When speaking with Josh Tsui, Founder of Robomodo, inspiration for creating this initial demo came from his love of photography, sniper games, and Pokemon Snap. This is of course a game, so scoring is based on timing, framing, and subject position. You then raise the “camera” to enter viewfinder mode and snap away to capture the action one frame at a time. The VR Photo Jam experience lets you teleport around the skate park to find an ideal angle. Well now is your chance to get some practice in and make a game out of it at the same time.Ĭhicago-based game developer Robomodo is showing us an early prototype of their “VR Photo Jam” experience, transporting you into the shoes of an action sports photographer positioned atop a halfpipe as skaters fly overhead. Have you ever wanted to see if you have what it takes to be an action sports photographer? What about a war photographer or maybe even a paparazzo cruising hot spots in LA? You can now try your hand at being a skate photographer with a Vive controller as your camera.
