For my Honors Capstone, I worked with 7 other students as part of UAH’s interdisciplinary INCLUDE program to answer "Grand Challenges" about our future. I used my teammates' research to create a VR program depicting an Earth-based spaceport. I introduced its amenities as well as some hands-on activities. I started development in Fall 2020 and was joined by Elizabeth in Spring 2021 to help with the environments.

HUB in Unreal Engine 4. I made the hologram materials as well as a cheap glass material to aid in optimization.
Classroom in Unreal Engine 4. I designed and dressed the Classroom level with premade assets.
Classroom in Unreal Engine 4. I was responsible for the interactions in this level as well as the video that plays on the screen on the far right. The video gives instructions on the activity.
There is also a voice-over, which I implemented in.
The interactions also, by means of boolean-controlled conditions, set off the recorded dialogue prompts.
