ODDYSea VR Project
ODDYSSea was an educational virtual reality game developed for the Oculus Go headset. The goal of the game is to assist with Russian language immersion for high school students. I modeled and textured puzzle assets (bookshelf puzzle, books, animal cage puzzle, etc.), scripted puzzles and player interactions with C#, and animated cut-scene animations in Maya. The game engine of choice was Unity3D.
The game was developed as a pilot bid for a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract, in partnership with the National Foreign Language Center.
