Built a city-scale simulation of Philadelphia for NBC10 to visualize security logistics and crowd flow. Mapped event routes and restricted zones to assist experts in hypothesized evacuation planning.

Projected 2D drone footage of I-295 construction onto a panoramic C10 system. Allowed engineers to analyze infrastructure site changes in an immersive format.

Developed a real-time tracking system using OpenCV and marker-based triangulation to mirror physical drone flight inside a CAVE. Integrated a custom network protocol for synchronized virtual-to-real movement.

Created a multi-sensory urban planning tool integrating spatial sound and specific environmental scents. Investigated how tactile and olfactory cues enhance participatory design for future arts districts.

Designed an Oculus Go application to navigate complex, high-dimensional media databases in 3D. Used a wrap-around interface to expose hidden data connections not visible on flat screens.

Provided remote immersive tours using first-person 360-degree video capture for prospective buyers. Enabled head-mounted display users to perform virtual site inspections from any location.

Visualized sensor data and valve states for a methane thruster testbed. Allowed operators to perform root cause analysis by tracing fault paths within the virtual engine architecture.

Modeled regional rainfall and water runoff based on topographical data for South Jersey communities. Combined interactive house placement with flood mapping to educate the public on civil engineering solutions.

Developed a dynamic weather simulation to market renewable energy hardware to investors. Demonstrated how solar and wind output fluctuates in response to changing cloud coverage.

Simulated the Boeing X-45 drone within a Ford-class carrier environment to study flight deck management. Modeled mechanical failures and takeoff/landing scenarios to test spatial logistical planning.

Utilized force-feedback hardware and 200 miles of GPS-mapped roadway to study driver awareness. Captured lane-crossing data to help civil engineering students analyze safety incidents in a controlled environment.

Visualized hurricane paths and tested shoreline barriers for Long Beach Island using elevation data. Simulated water flow to determine optimal locations for physical flood obstacles.

Implemented a procedural fire-spread algorithm inside a virtual multi-story apartment. Trainees practiced identifying fire sources and locating victims obscured by dynamic smoke systems.

Developed a procedural US Army simulation for operating specialized metal repair hardware. Utilized a 3D-printed, motion-tracked spray gun to eliminate material costs during training sessions.

Enabled nursing students to perform head-to-toe physical examinations on virtual patients. Used hand-tracking to manipulate medical tools like otoscopes in preparation for clinical certifications.

Built a high-fidelity orthopedic trainer for practicing total hip replacement procedures. Provides attending surgeons with objective feedback to support the entrustment of real-world surgical responsibilities.

Prototyped tactical awareness training for the US Army from within a Joint Light Tactical Vehicle. Challenged soldiers to identify threats and analyze vehicle damage post-simulation.

Utilized motion-tracked controllers for a lighthearted university retreat game. Demonstrated 3D tracking capabilities by allowing staff to playfully interact with virtual avatars of department heads.

Created a celebratory "bottle-breaking" ceremony using a motion-tracked physical sparkling wine bottle. Triggered virtual effects across panoramic displays to commemorate a facility's grand opening.

Designed a timed escape game to engage visitors in queue at a haunted house attraction. Required players to locate keycards and solve puzzles before a virtual toxic gas timer expired.

mplemented a networked VR experience allowing four users to solve cooperative puzzles in shared space. Eliminated the need for physical props while providing hazardous or digital challenges.

Developed a physics-based simulation for high school students to visualize gravitational coalescence. Used tracked controllers to "throw" objects into stable orbits to intuitively teach complex physics equations.

Built a 30-minute networked game for the C10 panoramic system. Tasked groups of three with using motion-tracked flashlights to navigate dark, abstract environments.

Integrated motion tracking to alter psychedelic environments based on a performer's movements. Enabled dancers to interact with virtual shoals or command abstract avatars in real-time.

Reversed the VR dynamic by having a live performer react to pre-programmed virtual cues in a CAVE. Created dream-like choreographed sequences for international stage premieres.
