VR / MR / XR

🕶️ About My Work in VR, XR & MR Audio

With a deep passion for immersive sound and a strong technical foundation, I bring years of experience designing and implementing audio for VR, XR, and MR experiences — blending spatial precision with emotional storytelling.

I’ve contributed to high-profile commercial titles including:

🎮 Commercial & Platform Projects:

    • 🍍 Super Fruit Ninja (Apple Vision Pro) – Gesture-driven audio for spatial computing.

    • 🥊 Thrill of the Fight 2 (Meta Quest) – Full-contact boxing audio with dynamic spatialization.

    • 🍉 Fruit Ninja VR 2 (Meta Quest) – Fast, reactive slicing audio layered with environmental feedback.

    • 🌐 Horizon Worlds (Meta Quest) – Social VR audio systems for world-building and avatar interaction.

    • ✋ The World Beyond (Meta Quest – Hand Tracking Demo) – Reactive hand gesture audio and spatial feedback.

    • 🎭 Quill Theater (Meta Quest) – Immersive audio for 6DoF animated storytelling.

    • 🎢 360° Ride Videos – Directional and motion-based audio for theme park-style experiences.

    • 🧟‍♂️ Bloody Zombies – Audio content creation and mix for side-scrolling brawler action.

My work focuses on technical audio systems that support full-body tracking, hand gestures, haptics, and responsive environmental soundscapes. From Wwise-driven behavior trees to Unreal Engine blueprint integration, I ensure that sound enhances the gameplay experience without ever getting in the way.

Beyond commercial projects, I explore VR audio in personal experiments — including a lightsaber-style interaction demo built in Unreal Engine, where I developed physics-driven audio that responds dynamically to swing speed, collisions, and user movement.

Whether it’s a fully immersive room-scale game or a mixed reality showcase for spatial computing, I design audio systems that feel intuitive, reactive, and real.
