Description
VXRLabs is a multi-student educational simulation platform designed for PC and Meta Quest headsets, offering immersive, interactive lessons across various subjects. From virtual field trips and chemistry labs to historical site explorations and career training, the platform transforms traditional learning into engaging 3D experiences. VXRLabs supports both synchronous and asynchronous learning, allowing students to either explore solo or collaborate in multiplayer educational environments.

Purpose
VXRLabs was created to centralize immersive education, providing a single platform where institutions can access a vast library of VR simulations instead of purchasing multiple applications. The goal is to enhance student engagement, improve knowledge retention, and provide interactive, hands-on learning experiences in subjects ranging from science and literature to history and career training.

Key Responsibilities

• Multiplayer Development: Implemented synchronous multiplayer features that allow students and teachers to collaborate in real-time simulations.
• Immersive World Design: Assisted in developing realistic, interactive environments, including historical locations, science labs, and career training modules.
• VR Optimization: Ensured smooth performance and interaction fidelity across Meta Quest headsets and PC versions.
• Physics-Based Interactions: Developed interactive chemistry labs, biology dissections, and physics experiments, allowing students to manipulate objects naturally.
• Educational Gamification: Designed interactive tasks and puzzles to reinforce learning objectives and make lessons engaging.
• Cross-Platform Functionality: Assisted in creating web-accessible versions of certain modules, ensuring maximum accessibility for students and educators.

Tech Stack

• Game Engine: Unity (C#)
• VR Development: Meta Quest SDK, Oculus Integration
• Multiplayer Framework: Photon Networking for multi-user simulations
• Version Control: Git, GitHub
• AI Integration: 3D AI Creator tool for deploying web-based educational content

Design Tools
