VR Escape Room Game Powered by GS-Verse 3DGS Engine
An exciting new project has emerged in the space of real-time 3D rendering and interactive VR gaming: Escape Room (GS-Verse). Built on top of the GS-Verse Gaussian Splatting engine, this VR escape room demonstrates the potential of incorporating 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) representations inside interactive gaming setups.
Project Overview
The game is built using Unity 2022.3.47f1 along with OpenXR and the XR Interaction Toolkit, targeting immersive virtual reality headsets. It challenges players to solve interactive puzzles (such as a Fibonacci sequence puzzle, a keypad safe puzzle, and bookshelf navigation) in a fully reconstructed, photorealistic environment powered by 3D Gaussian Splatting shaders.
Engine and Technical Details
The Gaussian Splatting rendering pipeline is integrated as a Unity Package Manager (UPM) dependency pointing to a specialized fork of GS-Verse pinned to the escape-room-v1 tag.
Because the project relies on high-performance Gaussian Splatting shaders compiled via DXC, the Unity engine targets D3D with DXC from a Windows editor environment. CI/CD builds are automated using a self-hosted Windows runner executing headless Unity builds and packaging them into a single-file installer via Inno Setup 6.
