A2-Go! is an educational and athletics augmented reality mobile app for tourists visiting Ann Arbor. Visitors plant virtual trees around Ann Arbor by purchasing seeds in-game while appeasing squirrels harassing trees with acorns. In addition, visitors visit Ann Arbor by visiting and interacting with Ann Arbor’s famous landmarks.

In collaboration with Shawn Halimman, this simulator is made in Unity with Mapbox SDK and AR Foundation. Jira is used for project management. Video Link

AR Scene with the selected plant

Daily Daisies is Alternate Reality Initiative’s year-long project where members developed and designed an augmented reality wellness app. The app aims to promote the user’s wellbeing through a generation of weekly and daily wellness tasks to nurture a collection of augmented reality plants. I guided members to design the user interface and gamification features to improve the wellness app’s user experience and encourage users to take care of their virtual plants often.

The patient's view of the website designed in Figma visualizing the areas of pain and expected healing period.

PainPal is a mixed reality application to create a detailed visualization of the user’s pain points, allowing them to see exactly where and how your body is affected. With this information, PainPal suggests personalized exercises and stretches tailored to their specific needs, helping them to reduce pain and improve their overall well-being. I designed a website visualizing the patient’s areas of pain and the expected healing period accompanying the main PainPal application. Our team won the semifinalists for the best VR application in ensuring healthy lives and promoting wellbeing for all ages.
