Forest Sigil Tracing

VR Particle Interaction Demo

This prototype interaction mechanic was made for a story-driven Virtual Reality project I was involved in a few years back. Sadly this part of the narrative was cut so it never saw the light of day but here it is, in a freshly created environment.

Developed in Unity, using a combination of physics colliders and the Shuriken particle system.

The clips below provide a closer look at the featured environment.

Roles: Designer, Developer, 3D Artist.

Educational Training Tools For Engineering

VR Training Application Suite

Another in-house project I worked on for Make Real was a suite of Virtual Reality based Engineering Learning Tools for Prospect College of Advanced Technology.

The application went on to win the “Best Use of VR for Education” category as part of the ‘Virtual Perceptions – Immersive Perspectives’ awards in 2017 as well as being shortlisted for the VRBound – VRAwards 2017’ “Best Education VR Experience”.

Roles: Designer, Developer, 3D Artist.

EDF Reactor Builder

VR Training Application

Reactor Builder was my first major project working in-house at immersive studio Make Real. Part of a larger suite of training content, the application challenges learners to utilise the knowledge gained from their previously administered Fundamentals of Nuclear Power training material.

At the time, the current wave of VR was just starting to unfold and as such a previous version of the tool had originally been developed as a seated experience for the Oculus DK2 development kit.

Once the HTC Vive was commercially available in 2016 I was charged with updating the experience to a more free roaming, room-scale experience while making full use of the newly available tracked input controllers.

Roles: Developer.

Surrogate Rings

Interactive WebGL Graphics Demo

More noodling in the form of another interactive, procedural animation built for the web browser. This time using the Three.js library to construct and animate the scene with some WebGL based HLSL shaders for the additional post processing effects.

The composition was inspired by an animated gif by Surrogate Self, who’s Tumblr account features a whole series of similar pieces he’s created using Cinema 4D, Photoshop and After Effects.

To add an element of interactivity, user selection of each individual cube will trigger an accompanying audio chime and cause the cube to pulse.

Roles: Designer, Developer.

Web Audio Visualizer

Interactive HTML5 Graphics Demo

An early attempt at creating procedural animation using JS and the html5 canvas element.

The WebAudio api is used to analyse frequency and amplitude information from the accompanying track in real-time. This data then influences the successive line widths of the various patterns being drawn to the canvas.

Built to run in the browser, a small selection of UI elements are included for real-time adjustment of various values influencing how the shapes are drawn.
