Lead User Researcher: Neon City
Official Game Soundtrack on Spotify
Neon City is a virtual reality city builder sandbox game with hand-tracking controls, currently in development and under the direction of the USC Games Advanced Games Projects.
I capture and track user play performance data into meaningful and concrete insights/recommendations for the development team. Technical reports are structured using Microsoft’s RITE method.
Hand-tracking is the primary control system, and we optimize our systems’ performance to serve headset users (Meta Quest 2 and beyond).
