Augmented Heritage XR

Prototype

A prototype for a mixed reality location based experience, bringing history to life in a historic setting designed to use passthrough for the Meta Quest Pro.

My Role:

Lead Design | Narrative Design | Level Design

As lead designer on the project, I helped research and ideate the theme and historical subject matter, helping to create a narrative and flow for the experience. It was my first time working with hand tracking - I learned a lot though trial and error what kind of interactions work most effectively using the technology, as well as best practices of using a mixture of physical and augmented assets in the space.
