How to use:
When using the Virtual Brain, the user is locked to a track. Users can move forward and backward along the track and will encounter stations. At each station, a voiceover will play explaining that particular section of the brain.

The Virtual Brain can be used with an Oculus Rift or Oculus Go virtual reality headset.

When using the Oculus Rift, a set of Oculus Touch controllers is required. The joystick on the right Touch controller moves the user forwards and backwards along the track.

When using the Oculus Go, the Oculus Go Remote is required. The touchpad on the remote moves the user forwards and backwards along the track – touching the upper area of the touchpad moves forwards, and touching the lower area moves backwards. Pressing the index finger trigger will also move forwards along the track.

Command line options (Oculus Rift version only):
-renderScale [float]: Specify the render scale at which to run the Virtual Brain. Default value is 1.0

-demoMode: Run the Virtual Brain in demo mode. Stations will no longer stop the user from moving.
