VRChances

VRChances is a Virtual Reality career orientation application in which users can try out different professions and complete job-related quests. The currently supported vocations are electrician and chef. A robotic guide supports the players and explains the tools and workflow of each job.

In the electrician scenario, the user installs an electric socket and a light switch. In a more advanced quest, the user then extends the electric circuit by connecting two multiway switches via traveler wires.

In the kitchen scene, the player can cut various vegetables, mix batter, and use pans and pots to cook food on the stove. The robotic guide provides recipes and teaches the player how to cook them.

This project has been developed by Game Lab Graz at Graz University of Technology in cooperation with Jugend am Werk, and has been funded by the Chamber of Labour Styria.
