Augmented and Virtual Reality Development in Unity

From the projects outlined below, I have developed experience in various aspects of Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality development.
In terms of AR, I have experience developing image-target-based AR systems that use real-world 2D images as triggers (or targets) to overlay virtual content into a real world scene, as well as using the Unity engine’s built in AR functionalities to create open-world interactive AR experiences for Android and iPhone.
For VR, I have experience integrating SteamVR into Unity to transform standard Unity scenes into VR environments, developing teleport-based locomotion systems that allow users to navigate VR environments and implementing interactable objects in VR worlds.
My specific skills in this area are summarised as follows:
- Configuring image targets and developing systems for projecting digital AR content into the real-world using Vuforia Engine and Unity.
- Designing 3D environments for AR and VR applications using pre-made 3D models and animations.
- Writing code for camera controllers that allow users to switch perspectives when inside AR and VR environments.
- Programming character controllers and locomotion systems that allow VR users to move around AR and VR environments.
- Writing code to enable user interactivity with characters and objects in AR and VR Unity scenes.

Physical Computing and Interaction Design using Microcontroller Systems and Unity

I have acquired project-based experience in the area of physical computing by developing several interactive systems that can sense and respond to phenomena in the real world.
My projects have focused on either using Arduino-based microcontroller systems for specific functions, or using Arduino hardware to transform analog inputs into a software application developed in Unity.
As a result of the broad types of projects completed, I have experience working with a wide range of sensory data types including motion, sound, light and climate data.
My specific skills in this area are summarised as follows:
1. Rapid prototyping using a wide range of sensors and devices.
2. Writing code to control and interact with Arduino microcontroller systems.
3. Applying knowledge of electronics to design and build circuits that can connect and synchronise different types of sensors, actuators and microcontrollers.
4. Developing systems for automatically collecting and processing sensory data gathered in real-time from different types of sensors and devices.
5. Developing applications for tracking and visualizing different outputs.
6. Designing and implementing interactive user interfaces for smart devices and games.

My recent research projects has been focused on the research areas of digital twins and developing deep learning algorithms for knowledge graphs.
These research projects have allowed me to apply my programming skills to the tasks of:
1. Extracting and processing numerical and textual data collected from real-world sensors and social media.
2. Automatically generating graphical models using search and deep-learning algorithms.
3. Visualising information extracted from data using 2D graphical models and advanced 3D visualisations.
