This project was selected for official UBalt coverage highlighting community impact through game design and XR prototyping with B-360.
Project Context
- Client & MissionDesigned for B-360 to help support safer riding habits and youth engagement through interactive simulation.
- Academic SettingBuilt in Dr. Elka Cahn's class with teammates Zefran Jehle and Lewis Plested.
- RoleLed technical implementation and comfort-focused iteration for XR interaction and gameplay systems.

- AccessibilityOptimized for low-cost mobile VR headsets (around $18) instead of expensive hardware.
- Comfort FirstPrioritized stability and movement tuning to reduce motion sickness risk.
- Practical OutcomeBuilt as a useful training and outreach artifact, not only an entertainment prototype.
Playtest Outcome
- - Final prototype delivered by end of semester.
- - B-360 representatives tested the build at the Universities at Shady Grove.
- - Team observed strong engagement from first-time VR users.
- - No motion sickness reported during the hosted playtest session.
