Like so many people, the teacher known on YouTube as Charles Coomber is currently trapped in his apartment because of Corona and decides to to teach his class from home. At the same time, of course, he also wants to play the new Half-Life: Alyx. The solution? Combine the two.
Since Valve's shooter was developed for VR from scratch, it works better than expected. Charles Coomber takes advantage of the depth of detail: All objects such as pens and the like can be picked up and used. On Windows in the game are transformed into a blackboard.
Mathematical equations against the combine
To do this, he simply uses the Alyx lookout at the very beginning of the game. There are several colored pens lying around with you paint on the window can. The doodles can also be removed with a sponge. And since City 17 is also in quarantine, the setting also fits.
The lesson, which lasts about 17 minutes, is all about angles and how to calculate them. Like in school, the teacher draws lines and a series of equations on his board to convey the material.
