The fast rhythm and specific actions make the game more difficult.

OVERVIEW
The game Opera Crazy Dance displays opera in full 3d through VR glasses. The immersion enlivens the content and brings it to life, making it easier for players to enter the plot. In this game, players will have an immersive feeling and it has a 360-degree panorama view. The atmosphere is perceived through sound and the sense of space and distance will be more layered. Motion-sensing technology enables the game more convincing. In VR equipment, the movement of the head or even the movement of the eyeball can be perceived by the built-in gyroscope, GPS and other modules, body sense controller, hand and foot loop sensors, etc. are also equipped, which accurately sense the movement of every part of the body through multi-directional scanning. Thus, the movements of your hands, head and even gorgeous turn around can be identified, and synchronized to the scene to further experience immersion. As scores accumulate, players can unlock more characters, costumes, and musicals. Games will rank friends with many social interact platforms, which will guide players to qualifying. The level is gradually designed, and the operational requirements of the players are gradually improved, which leads to the growth of players' abilities. The players can master some characteristics of the game and skills through the "training level".
RESEARCH
SOURCE OF INSPIRATION
In this fast-paced and impetuous society, we usually don’t have enough time for exercise as we desire more time to rest and stay with friends or families. Entertainment activities are nothing more than watching movies, singing and doing sports. If there is a game that can integrate these functions, which allows us to relax and exercise our bodies appropriately, and also play with family and friends, that would be great. This is the original intention of designing Opera Crazy Dance. This game integrates exercise and leisure entertainment which provides a new way of relaxation for people who love music. I have some more specific ideas based on the movie Ready Player One. VR games not only embody the coolness of the game but also allow people to exercise.

Scene experience games
Watch video
VR film and television industry has a huge market prospect. If video is combined with games, it should attract more people’s eyes. The above figure shows that among all VR video users, 47% prefer to watch 3D blockbusters on VR devices. The most popular VR games are the scene experience games, which account for 63% of the total downloads. So I want to make a VR game that integrates 3D video and scene experience.
Data Survey
From this figure, we can see the rapid development and good trend of VR technology worldwide.
As shown in the figure above, over 60% of people aged 18 to 34 use desktop devices to play games, so my game will be targeted at those aged 18 to 34.
Later, I found out that the most popular entertainment is watching musicals between the ages of 18 and 34. So I decided that the game would be dominated by musicals.
According to the statistics, the most popular musicals in the world are shown above, so I decided that the later unlocked levels would be these musicals.

This tests the player's responsiveness, but it is simple and easy to learn. Different hand shapes and different sizes will produce different ways of playing.
