StomaSim
StomaSim is a VR simulation experience that aims to educate patients of upcoming colonoscopy surgeries on what it's like to live life with a stoma bag. This is done by simulating the experience of changing one's stoma bag. You can experience the simulation here.
This was my first VR project. As such, it was a great learning experience on how to utilise an engine like Unity to create VR experiences and what additional things need to be considered such as VR sickness. It also gave me a crash course on the common frameworks utilised to make VR development easier, such as OpenXR. As one of the two developers working on this project, I learned a lot.
I was responsible for:
- Implementing grab interactions using Meta Interaction SDK
- Implementing world canvas interactions using Meta Interaction SDK
- Implementing step system and data representation to facilitate game flow
In future, this project can be further extended to contain more relevant experiences involving a stoma bag to be a more rounded experience.
