Cooking in the Kitchen VR
VR Research
Unreal Engine 5
Feedback Oriented
Blueprinting
Overview
This is a project I worked on during my time as a research assistant for Dr. Hee-Tae Jung at Indiana University. I was brought onto this project to act as a designer and programmer.
The goal of this project was to develop a virtual cooking activity, in which physical therapy patients could gain upper-limb dexterity exercise while being immersed in an activity. Additionally, this project involved 3 different levels of visual fidelity (simple, standard, and complex), in order to evaluate the effects of visual stimuli on task performance within individuals processing cognitive impairments.
Status: Completed

- Blender
- P4 Visual Client
Contributions
- Worked closely with all members of the team to set goals and devise development strategy
- Worked alongside creative lead to design and implement environment functionality
- Consistently iterated system designs based on stakeholder feedback
- Implemented virtual interactions using blueprints
- Implemented data-logging system
- At the end of the session, CSVs will be saved containing data about the session. Some of which contain thousands of rows of information.
