Imagineer and Founder of Metaverse Adventures

Immersive Matthew

Lead Developer

Behind every great title, there is a superstar developer who is there to code all the things that matter, but are unseen. That person is ROBYER1. Without his support, Metaverse Adventures may never have happened, or at least not as fast, as the state of VR development is truly murky waters and difficult to navigate. Thank you ROBYER1 for utterly paying it forward and being a part of this venture.

Life Support

The Haunted Castle would not have been possible without my wife Immersive Knee's love and 3D animation/modeling expertise.  When you sit in the MetaMover, you are sitting in one of her creations.  In fact, if you have watched a number of blockbuster 3D animated movies, you probably have also watched her work there too. Thank you Immersive Knee for your love.

R1 Tools

R1 Tools provided the SteamVR Lighthouse Based Mocap software needed to animate all the models you see in the ride today.  It is a brilliant bit of code that allows one to put on their lighthouse based VR system (Valve Index in my case), plus 8 Vive Trackers, and then "snap" into any humanoid rigged character, and records your movement right in the very place the animation is later played back in the ride. Snapping into characters right inside the ride to record them is truly amazing, plus affordable for indies to use.  R1 Tools is in the Unity Asset Store so keep if you too need to animate characters or lots of them. I cannot recommend enough, but if you are unsure, just check out the ride, all the humanoids were animated with it. They are truly lifelike.

The animator takes advantage of Root Motion's Final IK technology for the Inverse Kinematics and animation recording, and JorgeJGnz for HPTK Posing and Snapping that provided the realistic hand poses and physics-based grabbing logic for the animatronics in the ride.

Also R1 Tools, helped with the Load Screen Free technology. Thank you so much R1Tools for all your great tools!!!
