(Audio Programming and Implementation)
I developed sophisticated in-house interactive audio systems using custom scripts, designed to enhance the immersive and intuitive auditory experience within virtual reality environments. By seamlessly integrating dynamic audio elements, these systems respond to real-time user interactions, creating a more engaging and lifelike VR experience. This project involved leveraging advanced audio programming techniques to ensure that the sound design not only complemented the visual elements but also heightened the overall sense of presence, further deepening the user's immersion in the virtual world.
