What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Short Circuit VR is intended to be an educational tool for learning basic electronics.

Unfortunately we are not working on Short Circuit VR and instead working on Shortcuit, a PC game to learn electronics and Arduino programming. http://shortcuit.com

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We won't be updating Short Circuit VR anymore and are working on Shortcuit. http://shortcuit.com

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We hope that the full version will be used as a helpful learning tool for students, teachers and hobbyists. There are a lot of fun ideas we would love to implement but we're not sure if we will continue working on Short Circuit VR yet.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“While there’s a lot that can change in the future, it currently includes the basic features we would like to see in our final version (build your own electronic projects, get feedback, complete challenges, …).
Please go to the "About This Game" section to see a more in depth list of the currently available features.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to put a price on the versions after early access as we will add a lot more content.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Depending on your reviews, we will see what extra features we can possibly add in the next versions and set the priorities of features we are planning on adding. By doing this we know what the community wants and therefore create a quality product!

We encourage users strongly to leave reviews or use the google forms on our website: https://shortcircuitvr.com

We have also created a subreddit for all the questions and feedback concerning Short Circuit VR: https://www.reddit.com/r/shortcircuitvr/”

About This Game

Short Circuit VR is an electronics lab simulator in Virtual Reality.

You can build your own electronic circuits with the components provided, learn basic electronics by completing challenges and just have fun while experimenting and making awesome projects!

For who is this game intended?
While Short Circuit VR can be used as a learning tool for young and old, it can be used by hobbyists and anyone who wants to experiment and build things with electronic components.

Main features


Spawn components
The player can spawn electronic components to build custom circuits. Here’s a list of components currently available:
  • Wires
  • Batteries (1.5V, 3V, 9V)
  • Resistors
  • Breadboard
  • Diode
  • LEDs (red, green, blue)
  • Slide switch
  • Pushbutton
  • Potentiometers
  • 7 Segment display (common cathode)
  • Photoresistor
  • Buzzers
  • DC motor
  • Protoboard



Receive feedback

Get information about circuit components values (voltage, current, voltage drop, resistance, …) when hovering over them with the controller. Easily detect errors in your circuit as you’ll get a warning when doing something wrong (short circuit, open circuit, too much current, …).



Complete challenges

The game includes several challenges to learn how to work with the basic components. Players will get a challenge description, a circuit diagram and some extra information to help them get started.



Whiteboard

Here you can find helpful information to complete the challenges.



Save your work

Short Circuit VR includes 10 save slots where you can save your progress in. It also gives you the ability to load save files from other users or save files downloaded from our website.


Import custom models

Users can import their own custom 3D models (.obj files) with a material. These models can be imported during gameplay to customise your projects.



Available for Arcades on SpringboardVR
