Challenges
The project focuses on creating a high-fidelity water simulation within a large-scale VR environment, aiming to deliver an immersive experience that feels both visually stunning and physically realistic. Simulating water at this level of detail requires careful attention to fluid dynamics, reflections, and interactions with objects and the environment, ensuring that every ripple, wave, and splash behaves convincingly. At the same time, working in VR introduces the challenge of motion sickness, which can break immersion and reduce user comfort. To address this, movement, camera perspectives, and interaction systems are carefully designed to minimize disorientation while preserving the feeling of freedom and exploration. Complex control systems are implemented to manage navigation, user interaction, and environmental physics, balancing realism with accessibility so that users can engage deeply without being overwhelmed. By combining these elements, the experience delivers a believable, dynamic aquatic world where users can explore, interact, and observe water behavior in a fully immersive way, making it both engaging and educational while maintaining comfort and usability in VR

Solution
The project integrates a diegetic UI, embedding interface elements naturally within the virtual environment to maintain immersion and reduce distraction. Comfort vignetting techniques are applied to minimize motion sickness during movement, helping users stay oriented and engaged in VR. An optimized pipeline ensures high performance across complex scenes, balancing visual fidelity with smooth frame rates. Additionally, custom shader development brings unique visual effects to the environment, enhancing realism, material interaction, and overall aesthetic quality, while maintaining efficiency for real-time VR rendering.
