Features And Contributions

I served as the Lead VR Programmer and Consultant on the research study.

We were funded by the MIT alumni program along with the MIT aerospace program which was organized and lead under the ESL laboratories.

This was later adopted into the MIT curriculum as part of a class study.

Programming

Spearheaded design and integration of APIs to enhance the immersive VR experience on Oculus Quest2

Research

Scientists care about numbers, A LOT. On the job I worked closely with with MIT researchers to develop 1-to-1 physics and environmental scaling for Mars rovers and its user interactions

Game Design / Programming

Developed and published mechanics and User Interactions which would serve to showcase researcher data and objectives
