Projects
Mixed Reality Wall Painter
Feb 2024
This proof of concept is a distillation of the wall painting process. The goal was to remove as many steps as possible to make the experience easy and fun. I utilized Meta's hand tracking capabilities on the Quest 3 to allow the user to grab and throw paint samples at the wall. The wall inherits the materials shown on the sample when the sample collides with the wall.
Remote Controlled Airship
Jan 2024
This proof of concept demonstrates the limitless scale and creative possibilities of mixed reality experiences. I have always had a blast with remote controlled cars and have always been interested in other RC categories but the cost of entry can be very high. This project gave me an opportunity to scratch the surface of what is possible with remote controlled vehicles in mixed reality.
Fireworks In Mixed Reality
Dec 2023
Fireworks are amazing but can be incredibly expensive and have a negative impact on pets and wildlife. Building a firework display in mixed reality keeps all of the positives while eliminating the negatives, the possibilities for incredible displays are endless. I built a control board to the launch the fireworks and utilized particle systems in Unity to make the fireworks.
Giant In Mixed Reality
Jan 2024
In this project, I wanted to see how well massive remote controlled objects worked in Mixed Reality. The Giant is a fully functional remote controlled creature that can walk around using joystick direction and perform grab animations at the press of a button.
Energy Blasts In MR
Jan 2024
This was a passion project for me, I have always wanted to shoot energy beams from my hands and with a Quest 3 and hand tracking it's now possible. I used custom hand poses to trigger the different phases of the energy blast and put colliders on the particle system so it can interact with other objects. Removing the hand tacking visual was a small decision with a large impact on the final product, the immersion is incredible.
Decoration Application
Dec 2023
Decorating for holidays is a lot of fun but also a lot of work. This project was about making the process as fun and easy as possible. I used the scene mesh data from the Meta Quest 3 to hang lights and decorations on the walls. With the future addition of augments, applications like these will see wider use cases as the decorations will be able to persist in your mixed reality space.
Fort Builder
Nov 2023
Building in mixed reality inspires the same feelings of magic and wonder as building forts as a kid. I wanted to see how an application could achieve all of the fun without any of the clean up and the result was amazing. I built a rotating UI arm that doubles as an object spawner and used the scene mesh data to provide a building surface. This project would be incredible to experience in multiplayer and in a larger space.
