Lunar Roving Adventure: Stepping into Historic Apollo Missions in Virtual Reality

The game starts with the Moon landing animations. After watching the Apollo Lunar Module landing on the lunar surface, the player plays the role of an astronaut. Then, the NPC astronaut will deploy the lunar rover, which was attached to one side of the Lunar Module. The NPC astronaut will give narrative vignettes and show assembly animations to teach the player factual knowledge of the different components of the lunar rover. After that, the player drives the lunar rover and follows the path to the place of destination. The rover is controlled by a T-shaped controller which is the same operation as the driving control for the real lunar rover. During the driving, the player is able to monitor the driving direction on the heading panel, the speed on the speed panel, and the dashboard layout composed of many different buttons. After arriving at the destination place, the player will pick up the NPC astronaut and launch the Lunar Module returning to the Earth.
