Neigh is a first person endless runner game that takes Virtual Reality to the next level. Using the Oculus Rift and Leap Motion, the user is able to fully engage in a 3D game environment without using controllers or joysticks. This game simulates an infinite race while riding a horse, and implements simple gestures for motion (including speeding up, stopping, jumping, etc.).

The game provides features such as "shroom power-ups" that not only increase the speed of the user in-game, but also allows the user to move through buildings without getting hit. The game also provides "shroom decadence" which decreases the speed of the player, makes the player vulnerable to hitting objects again, and turns the screen black and white to hinder detecting the shroom power-ups.

While Neigh seems like a project for fun and games, it is really one of the first steps to experiencing a new era of Virtual Reality. Thank you.
