Will the Apple Fall? A VR Gravity Calculator Through Controller Movement Tracking and Gaze Interaction

We introduce a VR gravity calculator for the "Next-Gen Calculators" challenge. This interactive tool enables users to calculate gravitational forces by inputting planetary radius and mass, employing advanced controller movement tracking and eye-hand coordination for interaction. It also has different planets and materials presets, allowing automatic data retrieval and hypothetical exploration. It visualises and simulates the gravitational forces in real-time through a fun fruit-falling effect. Our calculator aims to transform geophysics education by making complex concepts accessible and engaging through tangible simulation. This innovative approach bridges theoretical knowledge with practical application, offering a responsive and interactive learning experience in geophysics.
