geodome - vr shopping experience for luxury brands

geodome allows fashion brands to gain exposure in high traffic areas at a fraction of the cost.
by placing vr headsets in strategically located kiosks, shoppers can explore brands' virtual stores by wearing a vr headset in the kiosk.

i wrote the code for the vr software from scratch using unity and c#.
this included writing all the logic for the virtual shops, importing brand catalogs, and exploring cloth simulation solutions.
i integrated all interactions using the oculus sdk, adding custom logic to a few key interaction components.
my expertise in unity and c# allowed me to build a well-structured and high-performing application that met all the requirements.

implementing a performant cloth simulation solution for vr was a challenging task.
by focusing on a tradeoff solution, i created a realistic experience while meeting performance requirements. this feature enhanced the overall immersion of the software for the end user.

to provide a more interactive and helpful user experience, i implemented an ai assistant with speech to text functionality using ibm watson.
i designed this ai assistant starting from the ibm dashboard's logical implementation, and then wired the system to the in-game ui. the ai assistant helped guide users through the virtual stores, answering questions, and providing customized filters.
this led to a more seamless vr user experience while navigating the virtual stores.

i also ensured that the software was optimized for pcvr.
i debugged the software using unity's profiler, and oculus's ovrmetrics. the software optimization ensured that geodome ran smoothly and efficiently on a variety of pcvr hardware configurations.
this allowed for a consistent and enjoyable experience for all users.

throughout the project, i managed and worked closely with a team of 3d artists.
by providing strict modeling and texturing requirements, i was able to achieve the performance targets.
closely managing 3d artists allowed me to create visually pleasing and performant virtual stores for brands.

lastly, i worked with a 3d scanner to scan and reproduce realistic clothing for the virtual stores.
by using this technology, i was able to create highly accurate and detailed clothing models, further enhancing the realism and immersion of the software.
