“terreform”
Johnathan Knox created a VR experience called Terraform, that allows the user to create mountains and explosions in a Virtual space by stepping on a Dance-Dance Revolution (DDR) Dance Mat. By looking around the baron land, you can determine where to place a mountain, and then step on the DDR pad in order to place it in the world. This experience is supposed to make you feel powerful and in control of the land that surrounds you, so go nuts and mold the landscape to your liking.
