A Drive Back in Time

Game Design for a GPS-Based VR Experience

Key Contributions:

• Historical VR Design: Researched Singapore's Civic District in 1965 to create a historically accurate and engaging VR experience.
• User-Centric Design: Enhanced virtual environments by placing key points of interest at locations where users would naturally stop or focus, such as traffic lights and iconic buildings.
• Dual Version Development:
  • Event Version: For a pop-up showcase with LG VR devices and Audi vehicles, featuring GPS-based interactions.
  • Public Version: Designed a non-GPS version with an automated scenic route for broader accessibility.
• Production to Release: Prepared builds and submitted the app to Google Play and Apple Store, gaining hands-on experience in full-cycle production using Unity3D.

This project allowed me to work across design, research, and technical implementation, while crafting a unique storytelling experience for both public and private audiences.

Additional Contributions

During my time at Rock Nano, I also did some frontend web development work for the now-defunct website of Armagallant, the studio's flagship title.

A Drive Back in Time was a GPS-based VR experience created in collaboration with LG and Audi for Singapore's SG50 celebrations, marking 50 years of independence. The experience transported users back to 1965 Singapore, with narration by acclaimed Singaporean artist Dick Lee.
