Finally, I wrote the necessary scripts for this project. Using Unity’s XR interaction toolkit, I added both continuous turn and movement to the player to allow them to freely move about the environment.

Since we didn’t want to worry about the player dropping either of their tools throughout the gameplay, both of their hands were replaced by tools, thus we could map the events from the inputs on the controllers to functions in game. I made it so the triggers on either hand would control the scanning and vacuuming features. 

Once the player moved into the water, we replaced both of their hands with the sea scooter, which found the midpoint between their two hands and rotated based on the average of the two hand rotations. Holding the two primary buttons let the player move in the direction the scooter was facing. The two tools were also still mounted to the scooter and both worked with the triggers just as they did on land.

I also wrote shaders and created some particles. The vacuum animation and the bubbles from the scooter, were both mine, along with the scanning shader.
