Immersed

Immersed explores the potential of narrative to break down stigma and strengthen social connections. Four youth artists from Regent Park and other inner-city communities worked with our development team to create experiences that reveal and celebrate the strength and creativity of often overlooked neighbourhoods.

This project aims to promote new ways of thinking about how we interact with our neighbours, and to encourage deeper participation in community and civic life.

This was my first professional project done in Unity. I worked with a small team of developers, a lead designer and a team of 3D modelers to bring the young artists story to life in VR.

In this project I learned a lot about how to implement VR features inside Unity and how to communicate with 3D asset creators about best practices when it comes to adding new assets to the Unity project. Through lots of meetings and calls, the dev team and the art teams delivered the project in time for Toronto's Nuit Blanche.

I also presented the project at the event by setting up the VR equipment and helping users through the experience.
