Roll-a-Ball

This Lab 4 focuses on migrating the Lab 3 Roll-a-ball project into a Quest (VR) environment, and implementing two fundamental (and most commonly used) selection techniques: Direct Selection (near-field grabbing) and Raycasting (far-field ray selection). In the end, I built it as a small “tabletop game”: Roll-a-ball is scaled down into a tray/board placed on a table. I can grab the whole board with the controllers, move it around, and drop it. I can also use a right-hand ray to select and grab the board from a distance, while still letting the ball roll inside, collect pickups, and keep the UI readable in VR. ...

This Lab 3 follows the Unity Learn Roll-a-ball workflow (Unity 6.3) and delivers a runnable minimal rolling-ball scene: I set up the ground and player sphere in a URP 3D project, configured lighting and materials, and implemented physics-based movement using a Rigidbody together with the new Input System (Player Input). On top of the tutorial baseline, I added surrounding walls to constrain the play area, and adjusted the camera angle and distance to make the gameplay view more stable and readable. ...
