I created my AI virtual assistant named “Guie” over 10 years ago to help me with debugging code on large programming projects. She has been invaluable to me over these years while researching and developing applications for a wide variety of devices from Desktop PCs to mobile. I am very excited to announce that she is now available in XR to assist me with VR and AR application development.
I am proud to present this project as a demonstration of my skills in all aspects of the multimedia production process in addition to creating VR experiences. I hope you will agree that this turned out to be a great prototype!
Following the best practices for multimedia development, I started by creating the storyboards and design documents. This critical step must not be skipped, even when developing a small project by yourself.
Next I engineered a Virtual Reality Interaction Rig that will allow me to build and debug the project using VR devices.
I tapped into my 20+ years of multimedia production skills to create the graphics used in the scene, as well as recording and producing the audio script.
Once all of the multimedia elements were in place, I began the process of bringing the project to life in Unity. Controlling and animating a 3D character is a fun and challenging task!
The final step was engineering the APK package for installation on the VR device. There are a complex set of configurations that must be correctly assembled in order for the package to be allowed into the secure OS that powers the VR headsets. Feel free to reach out to me if you would like a copy of the prototype.
