Perspectives VR

Perspectives VR Demo Video

About:
Perspectives VR is a virtual reality experience where the player can navigate the ‘Flight’ exhibit at the Leonardo Museum from multiple different perspectives. One perspective allows you to assume the role of the exhibit’s theme and fly around the space. Another perspective allows you to see through the eyes of a bat, using sonar to guide you. Another perspective called gravity bend turns the museum exhibit into a space station, where all the installations float around the exhibit. Lastly, you may opt for an on-rails experience where the designers guide you through the hot spots of the exhibit. This enables the user to sit back and enjoy the experience without worrying about controls.

We are proud to announce Google Fiber & Southwest Airlines are partners for this project.

This game will be launching in The Leonardo Museum in April this year.

- Built for mobile, utilizing Google’s Daydream Virtual Reality technology. Made with Unreal Engine 4.
- Launching in The Leonardo Museum in April 2019

My Responsibilities:
- Backlog creation & maintenance
- Task delegation and management

- Unreal asset implementation
- Find Music & SFX
- Promote communication & collaboration between team members
- Plan & manage QA sessions

Takeaway:
I have learned a great deal about working with a real shareholder with real deadlines and expectations. The Leonardo has been great to work with, giving us creative freedom but also some structure to ensure our content is best suited to their customer. This is also my first VR project, and I have learned a great deal about the cost of VR on the system and how to develop art assets for VR. 

This project really required me to be a jack of all trades. I attempted to fill in whatever holes in expertise existed in our team. I gained a huge amount of experience working in Unreal. Overall, I developed my skills in many different aspects of game development.
