Building Virtual Worlds

Building Virtual World (BVW) is a class created by Randy Pausch from the Entertainment Technology Center of Carnegie Mellon University. This semester I have teamed up with different classmates and created a game every two weeks for 5 rounds with new goals and platforms for each round. We used cutting-edge technologies as playing platforms such as Oculus, Hololens, eye tracker, vive tracker, cave, jam-o-drum and many other self-make installation platforms. All 5 games are developed using Unity Engine. At the end of the semester, some games will be selected to be in a public festival and many guests will come and play these games.
