So just for fun, I put together a simple simulator for FIRST Power Up for the HTC Vive in Unity. It uses the official field CAD, and the scale should be correct so that when you stand behind the driver stations, you should get a good idea about the visibility for each station. The scales and switches don’t work just yet, but you can pick up cubes and place them on surfaces and throw them around. I think it is really fun, and maybe in the near future I will add some more useful things to it, like the ability to make the scales work or have a game timer run and you can try to see how many points you can accumulate in a match period. Here is a quick video about what it does: https://youtu.be/EqHEGW3asrU And here is the download link if anyone is interested: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1pv953ZI2oX04uvDp8bD2J0Oh2CxH6UGe
Wow that looks really cool! Just out of curiosity is the CG for the cubes set similarly to a milkcrate or is it centered on the block?
We’ve been on and off working on a unity project as well, and I’m wondering how you got your field model looking so nice. We had shader texture problems like crazy in ours.
What cad did you use that already had all the textures?
looks cool! I did something similar with last years game with a driveable robot model. you can check it out here:
Any chance you could make the Scale/Switches pivot? Might be useful for testing block loading scenarios.
Thanks really helps visualize the field hope someone has a vive might be good to have windows mixed reality version too as those headsets are cheaper for teams on budgets this is a great resource for teams to use.
Can you (or anyone) do something like this again for this year? I have a VIVE at home and would love to get some practice in. Different controllers, drives, etc would definitely be downloaded all over CD.
I just used the Solidworks CAD provided. It didn’t have any textures assigned to the parts, so I downloaded the decals on the field elements and then manually created textures for them and added them to each field component.
Ultimately my final goal is to make this into a full blown VR driving and game simulator, but that might take some time.
I’m going to try to get that done later in the season
Right now it is just centered on the block, but I’ll try to fix that this weekend.
Outstanding.
Is there anyone that can recreate this for Oculus?
Anyway to make the part of the scale translucent on the diagonal?
Will help to see the visibility from stations 1 & 3 to opposite sides of opposing switch.
If not, thanks anyways, great work.
Where did you find a CAD of the field?
Is there any chance you’d be willing to share your project or texture media?
This looks awesome, can’t wait to get home and try it.
What file formats did you use to import it into Unity? We are trying to make a version in UE4 but cannot get textures working… Any tips?
Would also appreciate the files as then could rip the models. 
can this be used in Google cardboard? I tried and have trouble. I have a VR headset, how can I use this?
One of the files Unity accepts is .fbx, which can be exported by Blender (free 3d modeling program. Blender also opens STEP files, which Autodesk provides of the field 
) You can find a full list of what 3d model files Unity supports here.
Autodesk’s and Solidworks official field CADs.
Or the properly textured field? Doing it in blender with the Autodesk field has only given me issues…
Would it be possible for us to have the Unity project? We can’t seem to get textured .fbx files. We’re now planning to add the ability to draw like in Google Tilt Brush so we can create strategies in VR. Not that it’s needed but it would be fun.
Hi Guys,
Here is another POWER UP VR Field Simulator you can try …
Same thing as Noahs, but takes advantage of the textures and rigs used in the FRC Game Animation.

Unfortunately, the amount of processing power that it takes to process all of the geometries for this simulator makes it unable to run on a Google cardboard or a Gear VR or something similar. Sorry 
I’ll try to get the project cleaned up a little bit and share it in case anyone wants to make their own version using this project. Hopefully I’ll have some time to do that this weekend.
Go check out the (slightly more official) VR Simulator that the awesome people who make the game animation put together! It supports both Vive and Rift. https://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=161227
This is a Google Cardboard field view in VR that we created at work and with my team @FRC1189
Cardboard is only 3DoF (3 degrees of freedom and therefore not for walking tours)
