001 INTERACTION DESIGN

SkYLINE

Unveil the future of your city's skyline though an interactive experience that allows you to travel through time to explore proposed high rises at full scale, superimposed within the existing context.

flowlab

Flowlab is a mobile AR app that allows users to create interactive sound sculptures by launching glowing orbs that react to audio from different frequency bands and blend smoothly together to create one-of-a-kind visual effects.

XR AUDIO-VFX

This project focuses on the interaction between music and visual effects in extended reality settings.

I plan to expand on my learnings here to build out a product that can be used at concerts and music festivals to augment additional visual effects for the show.

AR PLANE GAME

This mixed reality game is a race against the clock to score as many points as possible while avoiding enemy missiles.

Both a desktop and mobile AR version of the game have been developed using Unity and C#.

VR synth

This experience explores the idea of natural music creation in XR through the use of hand tracking and physics-based interactions.

The experience was developed using the Oculus Integration SDK for Unity and built to an Oculus Quest 2.

VR EXPLORATIONS

This set of virtual reality experiments explores a variety of custom interactions programmed with C# and built using Unity's XR Interaction Toolkit.

Each was a prompt as part of an 8 week hands-on bootcamp focusing on Unity and C#.
