What I Worked On

I built the platform in which multiple users can interact with each other in VR via avatars using Unity, C#, and Photon Unity Networking. I worked closely with a 3D artist, Daniel Webb, to make compelling visuals and integrate / optimize for VR.

What I Learned

This was the first time I used Photon Unity Networking and the first time that I built a networked VR application. It was a great challenge to be able to send all necessary information of a player’s hand and head positions, as well as collaboratively being able to modify the world around the user and have those changes be reflected to everyone in the experience.
