Prototype for a virtual multi-user campus environment in which we helped our client try out features to allow students to familiarize themselves with their university campus, as well as to meet each other and use voice chat. The prototype featured outdoor and indoor areas, as well as a quiz activity with a leaderboard shared between players. So far, this project has 4 iterations.

In this prototype, the player smashes rocks in VR to obtain gemstones, and then needs to sort them by shape and color. After playing for a while, some distractions are introduced: pressing a sequence of buttons, and chasing away a ghost. The prototype was one of three concepts originating from a PreviewLabs-led brainstorm session, aiming to come up with ideas to educate people about the dangers of distracted driving.

Brainstorm session and six iterations for a vaping prevention game prototype for a large research study at Yale, sponsored by Oculus VR. In the game, players learn to understand the dynamics of peer pressure, practice strategies for refusing, and gain knowledge about vaping. While early iterations of the prototype used the Samsung Gear VR, later iterations used the Oculus Go.

A virtual reality prototype for a forklift safety simulator in which people are able to drive a forklift while learning (and failing) in a safe way. The virtual forklift is controlled with foot pedals and the HTC Vive controllers. Camera inertia physics were implemented to increase realism and reduce motion sickness. Triggers and consequences in the project are built in a modular way, so it’s easy to new training environments.

This prototype, based on an idea of our client, is designed for use in a class setting and reinforces basic knowledge of math functions for incoming undergraduate students at Yale. In an artillery-style game, two people battle each other using function graphs. First, both players place traps on a grid. Second, they take turns to combine playing cards and form a function. Then they unleash it to destroy the other player’s traps.
Client: Quinnipiac University's Irish Great Hunger Museum
Date: Jan - July 2016
Duration: 13 man-days
This game prototype about the hardships of the Irish Great Hunger resulted from a brainstorm session organized by PreviewLabs, and was developed collaboratively with Quinnipiac University students. In the game, the player takes turns feeding a child living in 1845 and their present-day descendant. Both characters are dealt cards with food items and cures that were present during the famine.

Brainstorming and prototyping for a dialog-based game concept used to empower teens and help them reduce risks related to sex. By playing through party conversations, bedroom scenes, and doctor conversations, players gain SeXP and become more knowledgeable about risk prevention, while unlocking new possibilities within the dialogs. The prototype content, including a variable system and conditional dialog trees was fully modifiable through the use of CSV files.

Prototype for a browser-based experience in which the user learns about the Placenta Accreta condition, in which the placenta is abnormally attached to the uterus. The user can zoom in/out, look around, and open and close various informational panels in which they can learn at their own pace about the condition. The final result developed by our client was published in the fall 2013 edition of the Stanford Medicine online magazine.
