A Mobile Educational Virtual Reality Experience
Step aboard a virtual space station in Explore, a mobile VR app designed to make learning about space immersive and interactive. Built entirely solo, this project features teleportation-based movement, voice-overs, ambient audio, and hands-on 3D experiments that turn textbook concepts into memorable moments. Designed to enhance education through play, Explore is available on Itch.io.
Development
Game Design
Explore is a mobile VR educational app designed to engage students (ages 12–16) in space science. As the sole developer, I was responsible for the overall game design, including creating interactive learning experiences. The game leverages visual and auditory elements—such as particle effects, sound effects, and voice-overs—to create a rich, immersive environment that turns textbook concepts into dynamic, memorable 3D experiences.
Level Design
The project begins with a tutorial room to teach players basic interactions, such as teleporting and using buttons to trigger animations or display information. This allows students to familiarize themselves with the mechanics before exploring the space station. My level design focuses on ensuring students can freely navigate and engage with educational content through hands-on experiences, encouraging active learning through exploration and interaction.
3D Modelling
For Explore, I created a comprehensive low-poly asset pack for the space station environment. This pack includes walls, floors, ladders, pipes, crates, buttons, and more, all optimized for mobile VR. I also designed models of solar system planets, making the game visually rich while ensuring a consistent style. These models were crafted to enhance the educational experience while maintaining performance for mobile devices.
Particle Systems
I implemented Unity’s particle system to simulate astronomical phenomena, including black holes, galaxies, and meteor showers. These dynamic effects bring space to life, helping visualize complex concepts like gravity and planetary motion. This immersive approach not only engages students visually but also enhances their understanding of space science by providing interactive learning opportunities.
