Project Description

Starlight has been working tirelessly to realign its services to best support the shifting needs of children and their support network as they journey through hospital and treatment. A core part of this mission is the use of play to provide distraction and bring joy to the everyday.

Our collaboration with Starlight Charity focused on creating an immersive play experience for Leeds Children’s Hospital, where we used motion tracking to create a safe, no-touch play area that will hopefully improve the hospital experience for all children.

My Role

• Fleshing out initial ideas and working viability of many aspects of the project at storyboard level
• Writing much of the core code driving the experience in C#
• Creating and coding the entire river-run game, an interesting challenge as it combined a 3D river and spline created in 3DsMax with 2D elements of jungle foliage and various characters populated in code along its length
• Delegating tasks to other team members and managing the workflow
