Created by Debra Lowman
Orgworld is a virtual reality experience that brings static objects to life, in the process making them living creatures by giving them motion, behavior, and distinct personalities.

Controls:

The executables are in the orgworld directory.
I_wave5 is configured to run on the I_desk.
C_wave6 is configured to run in the CAVE.

In both, you begin in the Central Universe. From here you can travel to any one of the three shapes on the web, a journey to the world of that shape. Just navigate into the shape.

SlinkyWorld
The slinkies mindlessly pace the walls. With the 1st wand button you can slowly float up and down.

Manatees
If you get close enough to the manatees, they will approach you. If you get too close, they back away. When you navigate, they try to follow you.

Tentacles
The hostile tentacles will start to wave about wildly if you approach them. If you get too close, they start to shoot projectiles at you.

TO EXIT ALL THREE SUB-APPS AND RETURN TO THE MAIN UNIVERSE, HIT THE THIRD BUTTON.

TO ESCAPE THE WHOLE THING, USE THE ESC KEY.
