Companion-Based AR Wayfinding
Project Overview
Medieval Market VR is a team-built VR game prototype developed in Unity for Meta Quest 3 using the Meta XR Interaction SDK. As Team Lead, I owned the XR foundation and final integration—bringing multiple teammates’ work into one cohesive, playable build.
Problem
Building a comfortable, interactive VR experience on standalone hardware required more than an environment pack: we needed consistent interaction patterns, a stable scene pipeline for a team workflow, and performance-aware settings to ship a reliable Quest build.
My Ownership
-
Built the XR interaction + locomotion foundation
-
Led scene structure + final integration across the team
-
Owned Quest 3 builds + QA for stability
-
Polished UI, lighting, audio, and animation with performance in mind
Problem:
Idea:
Indoor navigation makes people stop, hesitate, and constantly “re-orient” using 2D maps.
Replace map reading with instinctive following through a calm companion and environment-anchored cues.
Solution:
Outcome:
A cat guide + ground-anchored Paw Trail + Target Point that reinforces spatial trust.
A coherent spatial UI concept + prototype direction for hands-free wayfinding on smart glasses.
What you can do in the world
Start UI + Scene Integration
A lightweight Start UI welcomes the player and sets the tone of the experience. As Team Lead, I integrated the team’s separate scenes into a single clean main scene, ensuring consistent interactions and a stable Quest-ready flow.
Armor Color Change + Weapon Interaction
Players can personalize gear through simple, satisfying interactions—like changing armor color and handling weapons. Built with consistent grab rules and clear feedback for comfortable, intuitive VR interaction.
Sword Info Card +
Distance / Grab Interactions
A sword “Info Card” surfaces stats and item details without breaking immersion. Combined with reliable grab + distance interactions, it supports exploration while keeping controls predictable and comfortable.
Coin Bag + Gamified UI
A coin bag interaction adds a playful reward moment, reinforced by lightweight UI feedback. This small loop increases engagement and gives the environment a game-like sense of progression.
