DERAIL VALLEY VR - Driving the Steam Locomotive [OCULUS RIFT]

In this episode I take the majestic steam locomotive for a run in Derail Valley, in full Virtual Reality (VR) mode! The steam loco is an absolute blast to drive!

This is a full room-scale VR experience which means I am standing, leaning, sitting, kneeling and pacing around my study as I record the video and operate the train.

The steam locomotive simulation is slightly simplified when compared to what you may find in other games/simulators, but the sheer fact of having the experience in VR more than makes-up for it.

This is a long video, but rather than cut it down, I wanted to capture the true essence of this game, by doing a full-length run from the Steel Mill to Harbour & Town in the game.

Please use the chapter selections below to skip to any point of interest in the video. Otherwise, please sit back and enjoy the entire journey!

Hardware-wise, I am using the Oculus Rift VR Headset with two 'touch' hand controllers and two room-scale sensors.
