Combining cultural learning immersion with gamified challenges could tap into a growing market of users seeking interactive learning experiences.

This process involved mapping user flows into Unity game managers to bring each core experience to life, developing a reference document for UI to seamlessly translate 2D concepts into 3D environments, and working closely with developers to plan the spatial layouts for a cohesive user experience.

Players are guided by an AI-generated grandpa character through the dumpling-making process, unlocking cultural insights as they progress. To level up, they must beat the clock and fulfill customer orders accurately. This challenges them to improve their skills while unlocking new experiences embedded in the gameplay.

Helped build the visual identity of Legacy from the ground up, focusing on creating a friendly, illustrative, and warm aesthetic to make new cultures feel accessible and inviting. The design was envisioned to expand into other countries, with the concept tied to a passport theme that would unlock further cultural experiences as players progressed.

To make the instruction UI more interactive and intuitive for players, Rive animations were integrated, adding dynamic visual elements. The Rive plugin's integration into Unity ensured an easy handoff from designer to developer, streamlining the implementation process.

Assisted in preparing the Legacy app for upload to the Meta Horizon store by creating detailed descriptions, assets, and defining keywords. Developed multiple SKUs for visual assets, logos, and branding to ensure a cohesive and professional presentation.

Winning the Enhanced Learning with Meta Presence Platform track at the MIT XR Hackathon was an incredible learning experience. Getting funded through the Meta Mixed Reality Start Program Incubator to build a functional demo for the Meta Horizon store was a transformative step. I learned so much about working with a global team, handing off designs to developers, and bringing ideas to life in mixed reality.

Next, we hope to expand the reward system for players and unlock even more cultural experiences from new countries.
