The users have the ability to create their own [[Holodeck]] experience to play and also share it with other users. The users can create Rube Goldberg style large room scale creations by using the HTC Vive’s controllers. The created work can be shared online inside the game and other users’ works can be accessed online. Construction in the game is done by touching the primitives together. The game is quite broad in the sense that it allows the gamers to add ropes, rockets, pistons, propellers, hinge joints etc. The control of the constructed objects is done through levers and throttles. | The users have the ability to create their own [[Holodeck]] experience to play and also share it with other users.
