01
The Challenge
The experience had to hold spatial coherence for three freely moving participants while remaining practical to calibrate, operate and tour.
02
My Contribution
- XR technical direction, credited jointly with Ankh Interaction Design.
- System development for the multi-user 6DoF experience.
- Exhibition-oriented calibration and repeatable operation planning.

System & Decisions
HeadsetsLocal NetworkMultiplayer / Shared StateShow ControlOperator
- Treat participant position and shared state as one spatial system rather than three isolated headsets.
- Keep calibration and operator checks visible so a new venue can reproduce the setup.
- Design the technical layer around the pace of the work instead of exposing infrastructure to the audience.
