A virtual kayaking experience in the mythical word of River Styx. Navigate through the rivers of fire, hate, and forgetfulness using our handmade kayak controller, steering through rubble, rock and ruins. Discover jovial spirits, ancient gods and the arms of drowning souls across the waters between the worlds of the living and the dead.

The project environment was built in Unity using free 3D assets and characters created using volumetric footage. We used the Xbox One Kinect and a software entitled Depthkit in the game:play lab at OCAD U to produce the mysterious animated figures in the project. The vessel is operated with Tyson’s arduino-operated kayak controller, newly revised with 3d printed parts and more comfortable control aspects.
