Hiragana VR is an educational VR game that teaches Japanese food names and improves understanding of food orders. Players listen to orders in Japanese and select the correct dishes to serve, with feedback provided for mistakes.
A practice mode allows users to review dish names, hear pronunciations, and interact with items to boost vocabulary. I developed all code and UIs, creating an engaging tool for learning Japanese cuisine and language.

EscapeVR is a virtual reality escape room where two players solve puzzles and work together to escape a dungeon. Showcased at SOFA, Colombia's largest video game festival, this project was a collaborative effort with a friend.

Here is a picture from the event. It's not the best quality, but you can see me looking at the screen, ensuring the experience was running smoothly for the two players.

I focused on developing the game logic, interactions, and network features, primarily using C#, and also contributed to the game's design.

This project involved developing an environment editor specifically for desktop use to create customizable fire evacuation training scenarios. The editor allows trainers to modify and interact with objects, creating realistic environments for diverse training needs.

The focus was on building the logic for object creation and manipulation, providing an effective and engaging way for users to learn and practice fire evacuation procedures. This interactive approach ensures that trainees can adapt to various situations in a safe, virtual space.

While the current version is designed for desktop use, the project is envisioned to support future collaboration between VR and desktop users. This will enhance its application and make training sessions more versatile and inclusive.

The editor's flexibility allows trainers to create scenarios that reflect real-world challenges, helping firefighters and emergency responders to develop crucial skills. This hands-on approach is crucial for mastering optimization techniques and safety protocols.

Tools Used:

• Unity, C#
• Oculus, XROrigin.

Skills Developed:

• Animation management
• Objects UI design friendly
• Interaction with mouse (raycasting)
• Logic development for interactive environments

This Virtual Reality experience immerses you in a unique scenario where your phone stops working, and you magically find yourself inside the device. To figure out what's causing the problems, you must navigate through different areas, each representing aspects of app optimization. As you explore, you'll encounter various challenges where certain elements aren't optimized as they should be, providing a hands-on learning experience. Your mission is to fix these issues and learn key optimization techniques to restore your phone's functionality!
Topics of the activity: Overdrawing, microoptimization, promess and memory managment.
Tools: Unity and Blender.
Skills develoed: XR interaction, Optimization techniques, VR interaction design

Developed a learning tool for drums using Unity, Oculus, and Photon, aimed at creating the ideal environment for musicians and learners to practice and develop new skills. This tool allowed for guided learning sessions, where a teacher or friend could assist in the learning process, offering real-time feedback and interaction.
The project involved integrating various technical components, including XR interactions between objects and synchronization using Photon. This allowed for a seamless and immersive experience, where multiple users could interact with the virtual drum set in real time.
Skills Developed: I gained key technical skills in using Photon, XR interactions, and synchronization within a VR environment.
Tools:Unity, C#, Blender and Photon.

This project aimed to analyze the impact of virtual reality on children's learning of geometry, focusing on students aged 9 to 14. Collaborating with a partner, I developed a Unity environment that we imported into Altspace, a VR platform known for its educational and social interaction capabilities. The project involved two main components: first, students observed geometric figures alongside their corresponding equations, allowing them to visualize different transformations. The second part was more interactive, with exercises that required students to identify transformations between figures, encouraging active learning and engagement. Feedback from the six participants revealed that VR had a positive effect on their understanding of geometric concepts. This outcome suggests that Altspace is an effective tool for educational purposes, particularly in enhancing both learning and social participation.

The purpose of this research project was to analyze the limits of the Artificial Intelligence branch specialized in Natural Language Processing (No! this is not a Visual Computing project, this is one I made on AI in order to explore other fields that some day may work on VR). As a result, the idea of this project was to design an algorithm capable of creating a written production made of sentences that follow a logical syntax scheme and a semantics defined by the meaning of each word that is chosen. This algorithm seeks to imitate the process carried out by people who perform the art of freestyle, an activity that consists in producing a type of lyricism characterized by its free and improvised style. Therefore, the program receives a limited amount of information to start off picking a theme which will be used to determine the words that should be selected from a pool of vocabulary, either for their meaning or intent, in order to build a coherent sentence.

This was the first VR project I worked on during my time at university. While it may not have been perfect, it was a significant learning experience that introduced me to the vast opportunities within VR/AR. Through this project, I also learned how to use XR teleport and Oculus for VR, which expanded my understanding of immersive technologies. Feel free to check out the video to see how it all came together!

This is my first major project in WebGL, created to practice and learn essential 3D graphics programming concepts. The animation showcases a murder scene with three different viewing perspectives, providing a dynamic exploration of the event. Through this project, I focused on:

• Learning Shape Construction: Building 3D shapes like cubes, pyramids, and cylinders using vertex buffers and index buffers.
• Understanding Shaders: Implementing vertex and fragment shaders to control how objects are rendered and appear in the scene.
• Camera Perspective Handling: Developing the capability to switch between multiple camera views to enrich the storytelling experience.
• Animation Creation: Crafting realistic animations and effects, such as blood flow and bullet movement, to bring the scene to life.

This project represents my first step into the world of WebGL, where I learned to integrate multiple elements to create an engaging 3D animation.

The Ruins of the Treasure is a game developed in Unreal Engine to learn the platform and explore its blueprint system. With my background in programming and Unity, I created an adventure where players navigate ancient ruins, dodge projectiles from enemy towers, and use their own projectiles to destroy these towers. The ultimate goal is to reach a chest filled with treasure on the other side of the ruins. I developed several key blueprints for this project, including the enemyshooter, which fires at the player every 3 seconds and self-destructs when hit by the player’s projectile. Another blueprint handles UI updates for the player, changing when damage is taken and managing collision detection to ensure smooth gameplay.
Tools Used:

• Unreal Engine
• Blueprints

Skills Learned:

• Blueprint scripting in Unreal Engine
• Projectile mechanics and collision detection
• UI development and dynamic updates
