Game Development & Technical Projects

Academic and technical projects exploring serious game development, graphics programming, and engine architecture.

VR Ward Project - Final Year Project

I explored VR development further and also a whole new industry — the medical sector. The simulation helps students train in ward environments by diagnosing patients with different conditions.

What I Learned

  • Optimizing VR experiences for hardware and user comfort.
  • Designing interactive simulations in Unity.
  • Integrating external datasets into gameplay systems.

Key Takeaway

Building for real-world impact requires a different mindset. Working with healthcare professionals taught me that accessibility and educational value must guide every decision, opening my eyes to the transformative potential of games beyond entertainment.

VR Ward Overview

Project Overview

This project aimed to create an interactive simulation to help medical students train for ward environments. The simulation works by maintaining a database of patients, each with different medical information and conditions. They are placed in beds throughout the ward, and the user's objective is to walk around and diagnose each patient based on the clinical information provided.

Current Development

The interactivity systems are currently a work in progress and are being actively developed by other students. A key feature I designed is the ability for doctors to add new medical conditions into the database via their computer, allowing the project to scale and remain relevant for extended educational use.

VR Ward Walkthrough
VR Ward Collaboration

Collaboration & Support

This project was made possible through collaboration with several key partners. The Henderson Fund provided crucial funding after I won their pitching competition. Sandwell Hospital and the University supplied essential medical information and expertise, ensuring clinical relevance and accuracy.

Graphics Experimentation

I explored shaders and different rendering techniques such as ray tracing and path tracing. To learn more about how game engines render images and objects.

What I Learned

  • What rendering techniques are available and how they impact visuals.
  • More practice with C++ and graphics programming.

Key Takeaways

Balancing visuals and performance is key. Understanding the underlying mechanics of rendering helps me make informed decisions in my game projects.

C++ Game Project

A solo project to create a small desktop game entirely in C++, focusing on memory management, performance, and architecture.

What I Learned
