VR Regatta - The Sailing Game
How to finish the Long Race?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6C4QHAVLVRY
In this video our sailing expert Nate demonstrates our system for detecting Right of Way on the water and shows how to finish the Long Race - discussing some racing tactics.
We are planning on creating more of those sailing tutorial videos, discussing different aspects of sailing, using virtual reality to showcase it.
Please let us know what you think, how can we make it better and suggest topics you would want us to cover in the future.
Best regards,
Greg on behalf of MarineVerse team.

We've just released a new update of VR Regatta.
This is a big one: you get to steer a brand new yacht with a wheel instead of a tiller. And the water looks much nicer :-)
Please let us know what you like and don't like feedback@marineverse.com - and we are already starting to work on 0.6
