I've tested and used a plethora of input controls including: positional controls (including the Vive controllers, Oculus Touch, and Razer Hydra), mouse and keyboard, webcam, gaze, game controllers (xbox), kinect, voice, leap motion, and self made arduino inputs.

In most cases, I've done the development and game design, but several of the games were created with a small team (2-5 people). My professional experience is available upon request, but kept off of my portfolio for the discretion of my clients/employers.

Playlist of VR projects.

Small Worlds is an art installation based about altering peoples perspective of their impact. Users put on the HTC vive and start to draw onto a sheet of paper. The images they draw generate meshes in the VR world and alter the worlds around them in the VR space.

The computation to generate hundreds of thousands of vertices using tens of thousands of pixels from webcam data would normally reduce the frame rate below the desired 90 fps in VR. By creating frame offsets pixeldata -> mesh generation (in waves) -> garbage collection and optimizing the algorithms the frame rate remained above 90fps to create a smooth user experience.

"I Doubt" is an experiment into non-linear VR story telling. The user is presented with a series of images that they choose from. The images act like a rorschach test where the user selects one of the ambiguous options. Players choices alter the interpretation of the story events.

The interactive story uses gaze as user input. Through a series of user tests the gaze selection was altered to account for how people look at objects. Few people angle their face directly toward an object, instead looking either slightly below or above the target. Through several iterations, we found the appropriate "gaze arc" so that no user was left questioning if they made a choice.
