MAGIC GARDEN

Intro

Magic Garden is an HTC vive-based single player VR game, which is designed for the restoration purpose and it allows the players to start a garden in front of their virtual house. In this game, players can explore the nature, find the magic seeds and plant them in their garden. Besides, Magic Gesture is an interesting element, since players can use Magic Gesture to speed up the growing processes of the plants.

Our target group is those who enjoys the gardening work or who would like to own a private garden but can not have easy access to one in real life.
