The World That was (VR)

The World That Was is a virtual reality museum exhibition I was hired to created by the David Labkovski Project. This fully immersive audio-visual VR experience places the user inside the paintings of David Labkovski, an artist born in Niebel, Russia, in 1906. His paintings show the vivid life and culture of the world that was before the horrors of the Holocaust. I, along with the help of a team of historians and writers, created portable VR museum instillation that will ultimately be displayed all over the world, most notably in Vilnius, Lithuania. Received a sponsorship by Oculus. My Viewpoint scholar project.

UPCLOSE (VR)

​This virtual reality project combined my two greatest passions: photography and computer science.  Inspired by the work of Levon Biss, I used a powerful magnification lens and a stack shot program to create a microsculpture of a bug.  My partner compiled the images while I was the camera technician and in charge of rendering.  Once the project was finished, I created a VR experience where the user can rotate, move and zoom in to the bug and see the immense detail that nature possesses. As I continue to take pictures of objects with the microscopic lens, I will add them to the experience.  My senior year independent study project.

The Seven Stages (VR)

Inspired by William Shakespeare's poem All The World's A Stage comes the VR game: The Seven Stages.  The player must escape each "room" that represents a stage in their life.  They can escape the room by solving various puzzles of increasing difficulty.  My junior year independent study project.

ARm (AR)

My team and I at USC's Creating Reality Hackathon worked on an augmented reality app for the iPhone and Microsoft's Hololens that allows the user to view where their veins are and be educated about their purpose.  This application can be utilized by nurses that are drawing blood from their patients. I was awarded a Mixed Reality Developer kit by Microsoft for my work at the Hackathon.

Christmas! (VR)

Pull up your holiday spirit by the bootstraps and sip a nice cup of hot coco in this cozy log cabin experience!  Tend to the fire, gaze out at the snow or just sit there for a few minutes and contemplate your year.  Enjoy the heartwarming pictures of pets on the wall while you read carols by the candlelight.  This is just a little experience I created for the holiday season, enjoy!

VEX VR

VEX VR allows you to play every game in VEX Robotics history ever since 2007. For my school robotics competition I created VEX VR. I wrote physics engines for each game. After demonstrating VEX VR in a booth at my school's robotics competition, I was invited by the Robotics Education & Competition Foundation to display my simulation in a booth at VEX Worlds 2018. I redesigned the experience and improved it to show off at the four day event of VEX World Championship of April 2018, making me the youngest exhibitor to attend.

Artifice (VR)

Step into a piece of art; a VR experience that will change how you view the art world, while you reinvent the painting to reflect yourself. Artifice was my first VR game, it includes work from seven artists and mini-games from some of my favorites. I received an award for achievement in Computer Generated Imagery for my work in virtual reality from this VR experience.

Source engine maps and mods

I began my interest in level design with a plethora of Portal, Portal 2 and Team Fortress 2 maps that I created. I used the Portal 2 in-game editor as well as the Source Engine to create these maps and mods.
