Projects
Sandman: a survival horror game (course project)
I designed and programmed this project alone using Unreal Engine for a course project. Further, I programmed the entire interaction logic throughout the game using Unreal Engine’s blueprint system .
Scary Museum: VR integrating real-world events (design study within UIST’ 22 paper)
This work was done as a part of Responsive VR, a research project currently submitted to UIST 2022 led by Yujie Tao from the Human Computer Integration Lab (Lopes’ Lab), UChicago. In partnership with the study, I developed the scene and additional programming scripts to create cohesive interactions within the environment. I utilized Yujie’s OSC script to develop on/off in-game distraction integration to create dynamic in-game events.
