So for some reason I decided to invest more time into the throwing mechanic. Although I’ve validated that the current mechanic is better than the “native” throwing mechanic, I didn’t get into details of either.

I’ve already done some testing and played around Unity. At this point, I’ve figured out basic implementation for aiming and throwing, but I decided to restart fresh, as the existing project became very messy and un-organized due to the testing and a lot of unplanned coding. From now on, I’ll try to do my testing …

The inspiration came from the bad throwing accuracy in VR games. The bad accuracy is due to tracking error, grip release timing, object rotations, hand friction and more. The main concept for this game is “aiming before throwing” to make the throwing accurate. The aiming is done by having two laser pointer shooting out from …
