Abstract
"This May Hertz" is an HTC Vive Virtual reality game designed to inspire year eight to ten students to pursue a career in science (and secondly music). The game experience is based in an underground lab where players get to interact with Tesla Coils and experience music made via electricity in a safe virtual environment. The game also teaches basic lab safety techniques.
Interactions in the pre-lab instructional room include putting on safety equipment (and subsequently learning the VR HTC Vive controls) and pressing buttons
Interactions in the main lab include holding various objects to a live Tesla Coil, placing a Faraday Cage around the Tesla Coil and holding the same objects up to it, with different reactions, and standing in a Faraday Cage as musical electricity hits the cage. There are also various buttons and dials that can be changed to adjust the lighting and other interactions.
