When I got my Oculus Rift I thought hard about what kind of experience I wanted to create, and wondered "if I could go anywhere, fictional or not, where would it be?" and the answer was obvious - Jurassic Park! So for a little under a week I have been working whenever I can on a rift project that will aim to take you on a tour of as much of the island as I can create by myself.
The game (if you can call it that) will take you on a tour of the park from the inside of a Ford Explorer, and I also hope to add a kind of "free-roam" mode.
I apologize if you're expecting a demo because there isn't one yet, but I do aim to have build I would feel like sharing within a week if all goes to plan. I do have some images to share with you, although it's worth mentioning that a lot of the texturing is unfinished and there aren't a huge number of assets that have been finished yet.
The raptor pen is what I'm currently working on. It's not finished but here's a picture anyway lol.
Sorry I don't have more to show. I kind of just wanted to mention what I'm working on because I can imagine a lot of other people have or will have the same idea. If you're one of them, pm me and we should talk.
Feedback and ideas will be welcomed. 🙂
PS - Sorry about the image sizes. Is there a way to resize them with BBCode?

Thanks again for the comments, I'm still working hard and thought I would do an update on my progress. Recently I've been working a lot on the raptor pen, and have almost finished blocking it out. Some pieces have already been finished and UV unrwapped, and those pieces have rough textures on them for now which I aim to clean up later. Here's a couple of screenshots:
It's worth mentioning that the raptor model in that screenshot is an old model I made a couple of years ago and will be edited and re-textured to look more like the raptors in the film. It is already fully rigged and animated too.
Yeah the aim is to have as much of the full tour as I can make and I am already thinking of lots of easter eggs I want to put in the game, including a couple of Nedry related ones. 😄

This is going to be great. Maybe we'll actually get to see the FULL tour before that STUPY Dennis Nedry turned off the power. Could of been cool, but he HAD to be greedy. Keep us informed!
NOT PART OF THE RIDE. READ THE DAMN SIGNS!!!! reckless driving got you killed.

It's been a while since I showed anything new of this project, I wasn't able to work on it much for a week or so but I'm back to work now and making progress. I've started modeling the T-Rex, and I've almost finished the low-poly model. Here's how she looks right now:
