Selected work
Traversing the Mist
XR Technical Direction & System Development
A shared 6DoF VR work built for three participants to move through the same shifting world together.
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.
