About

Built and owned an end-to-end VR surfing simulator in Unity/C#, integrating Arduino inputs, external tracking, and a motion platform with multisensory feedback. Deep focus on VR comfort and control stability (PD control, quaternion-based orientation, latency/jitter mitigation) validated via IMU measurements and 200+ user studies, plus some Unreal gameplay framework and replication/prediction experience.

  • Balances responsiveness vs stability/comfort in VR (latency, jitter, cybersickness mitigation)
  • Validation-driven iteration using IMU data plus large-scale user studies (200+ users)
  • Experience designing and tuning networked interactions with client prediction and server authority
