📋 About This Mod
Mod Description
The primary goal of the VRIK project is to make Skyrim VR a more immersive experience. VRIK will display and fully animate a virtual body while matching its movements to those of the player. The player's in-game avatar is more than a simple graphic, as it can also hold, display, and provide natural access to any kind of weapon, shield or torch. Menus in Skyrim will pause, pulling you out of the gameplay each time you need you need to select a spell or potion, so an input gesture system has been added to allow players to perform a wide range of actions just by pressing a button and moving their hands. VRIK also adds support for touch input on Rift and Index controllers, displaying hand animations to match your real hands and allowing spells to cast when you open them.

-
