AR Games are about creating fun and engaging content that keeps people coming back for challenges or rewards. These are experiences that get to push my development ability.
G-AR-den
Garden is inspired by games like Animal Crossing where users build their own IRL time-based worlds. In Garden, you plant your very own virtual garden of tulips. You start with 10 coins and plant flowers that return different amounts but take different amounts of real-world time to grow. The user’s garden is persistent and the filter remembers what you’ve planted and where. I did all of the art and development for this project.

Umpire Challenge
When Snapchat released their new Spectacles, we knew we had to get in on the action. I enrolled Optic Sky in both the Snap Developers program and the Spectacles program. To showcase the potential of AR in the glasses-based environment Spectacles provide, I created "Umpire Challenge," handling all the art and development. In "Umpire Challenge," users are tasked with accurately calling 10 pitches, which progressively get faster and include breaking pitches. The experience utilizes gaze-based interactions, offering a more natural interface for the glasses platform.
If you have a pair of Snap Spectacles, try out the experience yourself!
