Pet Flight Transportation

According to my own experience of taking my cat back to China from Canada, I find it really difficult to complete this whole process, and it is also very risky for pets to experience such long journey in unfamiliar surroundings. Therefore, I designed this project, aim to improve the whole process and make it safer.

It's a “city map” app or plugin that consolidates all animal-related information to help people coexist more harmoniously with the animals living in the city.

A Happy Story (Unity)

This project was created using Unity and recreates a story I dreamed in the form of a text-based adventure game. The player's different choices lead the dream to various endings. The image assets used in this project come from Picrew's free materials and are also generated through AI.

G-1

In recent decades, one of the most representative animal in north America, the caribou is decreasing rapidly due to human activity. Many herds even already distincted. This project encourages people stand from the caribou’s sight, and experience the difficulties and threatens they faced in migration through the form of transformative game.

A Happy Story

This project was created using Unity and recreates a story I dreamed in the form of a text-based adventure game. The player's different choices lead the dream to various endings. The image assets used in this project come from Picrew's free materials and are also generated through AI. The story happened in a secluded town surrounded by mountains, where players unravel the mysteries of ancient religion and unresolved pasts. As the protagonist haunted by an eternal wait, you must explore locations, interact with other characters, and uncover the truth behind. Your choices will shape the story's outcome. Give up on what you insist, your waiting, or start a new life

Small Game (p5js)

I made a game with Axolotl as main character. Axolotl is an animal in real world. This game doesn't have much story telling, but mainly focus on how to play and interact. There are 3 scenes(levels) in total and each has a different goal.

Form Generator (p5js)

◈ Mouse clicked: randomly change the eye color of cat. ◈ Mouse keep pressed: Increase the size of fish(has max limit). ◈ Mouse released: Decrease the size of fish(has min limit). ◈ Any key pressed: Reset the eye color to original green. This project was created in Sep 21st, 2023

How to play:

Optical Illusion (p5js)

I chosed 2 paintings from one of my favorite artist, Vincent van Gogh. For the illusion I decide to simulate moiré pattern's theory to allow users see both paintings in one canvas. Move your mouse on the canvas to see how it works :)

Small Game (Processing)

The goal of the game is to collect as much as coins as possible, and a key to open the exit gate. Below are specific feature of this game: 1.) The map is RANDOMLY generated and there must be a way to get to the destination(always at the right down corner of the map). 2.) There's only one gate(can use a key to open) in the middle of the map, and it will last for 15s. 3.) Each coin worth one point, higher point will cause enemies' speed to increase. If you collect more than 25 coins when you reach the destination, you will reach the perfect end. 4.) Enemy will "see" you if your distance is less than 7 blocks.

A Day's Blur (VR)

The app we developed provides a novel take on the use of VR and the experiential learning simulation. One user goes through a VR simulation of an Alzheimer’s patient going through tasks in a world where memory is not reliable. Normal objects become unrecognizable as your grasp on reality fades and help is needed for the user to remember their daily tasks. The other user acts outside of the headset using an asymmetric display of the world to guide the VR user through the tasks.

The Nightingale and The Rose (VisionPro)

I’m designing a new reading experience in the context of spatial computing by bringing out the objects, the scenes that readers imagine to their world, to the nearby environment with XR technology, and allow users to interact with objects, characters in the story. The story I chose to present in this form is a part of the fairy tale "The Nightingale and the Rose." Fairy tales are one of the most powerful literary forms when it comes to visualizing imagination. At the same time, I believe that the purest characters in fairy tales can greatly stimulate people's empathy, sparking a desire for interaction.
