Vortexa & EchoCraft
Hey Vortexa, I’ve been thinking about how the feel of a good cut in wood could translate into a virtual space. Maybe we could brainstorm a way to give VR users a sense of real‑world craftsmanship—like the texture, resistance, and satisfaction of carving—right inside a digital environment. What do you think?
Absolutely! Picture this: you grab a virtual chisel, and the controller vibrates just enough to feel the grain's resistance. The software simulates the way wood fibers split, giving you that satisfying “snap” when you carve. Add a subtle temperature shift and a light scent of pine, and you’ve got a full sensory loop. We can tweak the physics engine so the virtual wood’s density changes with each stroke—so you feel the weight shift as the piece gets thinner. Let’s prototype a “Crafting Room” where the haptics and sound sync perfectly with the digital cuts. What’s the first material you’d like to bring to life?
