Freelance Unity3D Developer (VR)

Kusunda is an interactive VR documentary about the sleeping Kusunda language in western Nepal, providing an immersive experience using a blend of photogrammetry, volumetric video and 3D animations.

Several times during the experience the player is taught a Kusunda word and asked to repeat it before continuing.

My responsibilities were:

• Setting up the basic VR project and the tools necessary to import volumetric video and photogrammetry.
• Developing Unity Timeline-based tools to allow the rest of the team to set up sequences consisting of animations, sounds, transitions and effects.
• Three effects:
  • Mesh-based fade in/out for 3D content. (Visible in the trailer from 0:52 to 0:57.)
  • Voice recording visualization, based on a concept from and together with the 3D artist.
  • A variation of the above effect to symbolize a telephone call.
• Adding a recording functionality.
• Several ingame UI elements and menues.
• Working together with the 3D artist to integrate the scenes and 3D animations.
• Working together with the SFX engineer to integrate sound effects and ambience.
