XR Stories Internship

2022

A summary of the projects I worked on as a Creative Technician intern at XR Stories. My report on this internship earned me the University of York's On Campus Intern of the Year Runner Up award. You can read the report online or download the PDF below. XR Stories also wrote an article about this achievement. Aside from work on the Sandboard 1.1 update, there were three main projects I developed (listed in chronological order):

• Made in collaboration with Ziqi Fang
• Created 3D models of pieces of York history such as the York Minster and the York coat of arms
• Vuforia image tracking identifies activation points such as windows or plaques in the Guildhall

VR CML

• VR replica of XR Stories created for a 3D scanning tech demo
  
• Interactive level featuring swinging light fixtures, openable cabinets, and destructible computer monitors
