ARworks developed a VR application for the Hungarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry to guide users through a virtual job fair, experiencing four different occupations. The app, running on HTC Vive, aims to help children explore potential future professions.

Auto Industry: Users enter a car repair shop, tasked with changing a wheel on a FIAT 500 and checking the car's battery.

Fashion: Set in the backstage of a fashion show, players choose a dress to make, cut the necessary pieces from fabric, adjust the lights for the show, take photos, and watch models on the catwalk.

Hostelry: In a restaurant kitchen, users select ingredients to prepare a hamburger, then assemble it step-by-step. They also decorate a cake for dessert.

Real Estate Development: Players find themselves on a construction site, starting with using simple machines like drills and cutters. They then build a wall with bricks and weld metal pieces together on the third floor of a half-completed villa.

The VR experience toured Hungary in an exhibition truck, featuring eight HTC Vives, allowing hundreds of children to try VR and explore these professions firsthand.
