It's been over 30 years since Duck Hunt was released for the Nintendo Entertainment System console. A new fan project brings the light gun shooter game into the modern era.
Joseph Delgado, who is studying computer science at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, attended last month's Global Game Jam 2016 and was inspired to build a virtual reality version of Duck Hunt. Delgado, who is 21, built the game in a day and released a gameplay video to his YouTube channel on Wednesday.
In the clip, we see Delgado exploring the Hub Level he created before setting off on his Duck Hunt adventure. The Razer Hydra controller kit is hooked up to Delgado's Oculus Rift Development Kit 2 to track his hand movements, which correspond to how the gun moves around in-game. He 3D-printed a plastic head-mount for the Hydra from a model he found on Thingiverse.
