Programming a game engine to work on virtual reality headsets has been one of my main interests.

This project was a historical visualization on a dig site. The location used to be a farmstead 1000 years ago. I worked with archeologists and historical building technique experts to recreate the surroundings at the actual location. Hundreds of people, including many school children, enjoyed experiencing a piece of history they could walk around in.

Another localized VR project I worked on, involved a resistance hide-out from WW2. From an old video, I recreated the hut and embedded the experience in a kind of game, where visitors on a guided tour of the location, had to find the actual hut.

VR can be used to prepare people and smooth the transition from an old situation to a newly renovated place. In this project, I was asked to design a workplace and coffee house for a special needs organisation. VR was used to let everyone get used to what the plans were, reducing anxiety and increasing enthusiasm.
