Telescopes First Pass




The tripod telescope has the periscope/telescope combination. 
Since it is tall, it has the option of collapsing to be shorter or going below deck.
The player rotates their body to move the device 360 degrees.
The handles can rotate like a motorcycle throttle, allowing it to tilt up and down.
Still needs design pass.



This one is shorter than the tripod. This structure is just to show the mechanics of it. 
 It still needs design pass for the details, style, etc. 
Has the overhead periscope like motion to control it. 
Player rotates the wheel forward and backward to see up or down. 
Player rotates the wheel side to side, causing the platform to pivot so they can see 360 degrees around.
A mini-map appears in the middle of the steering wheel so player can get oriented easily.


The dome is on a platform that pivots on the deck of the ship. 
Player uses the handle bars to pivot the dome and adjust view.
Still needs design pass.

More to come...
