Hello fellow plumbers, In this game, you can test how good you are at transforming 3D objects. Move, rotate, and scale your pipes to solve the tasks.

Features:

• three different kinds of transformation tools
• three challenging levels (depending on your skill)
• horrible voice “acting”
• helping science

This game was made for a study conducted by the Institute of Media Informatics from Ulm University (Germany). We want to find out how capable people are in VR object transformation and compare it with their mental rotation abilities. Therefore, during your first playthrough, in addition to the normal gameplay, there will be a spatial ability test and some questionnaires. Afterward, you have unlocked our free game, and you can play it as often as you like.

Because we want to compare the participants' skills, we would appreciate it if you would not share any recorded gameplay. In this way, we can make sure that everybody has the same starting conditions. Therefore, we do not grant permission to share game captures.

We need to collect some data for the study. Therefore, you need to agree (done in the game) to the following terms: Privacy Policy for the collection of personal data for academic research purposes.
