With life-like movements and trademark voice, Butter Robot's complex “emotion engine” creates unique interactions and personality as it struggles to find a purpose.

This game aims to gamify Chemistry for younger audiences. While keeping that in mind, we also wanted to make the experience challenging and feel more “gamey” than other solutions. I joined Monstrous Molecules halfway through its production. Being the most senior engineer out of 3, I took the lead and spearheaded efforts to release the game on Steam and WebGL for Chromebook users.

I was hired as an AR/VR Innovation intern. I was given full autonomy to prototype one experience with AR and VR each. For AR, I found a use-case for an educational tool within the Clinical Trials department. For VR, I created a design tool for the civil engineers within Vertex to visualize a space. The latter received high praises because of its readiness.&nbsp;Poster Here &gt; https://phadta.re/Main_UntitledMusicGame Thu, 21 Sep 2023 11:02:50 +0000 Akash Phadtare https://phadta.re/Main_UntitledMusicGame Untitled Music Game INTRODUCTION A short-lived project at Digital Dream Labs, this game's goal was to teach a young audience the basics of music. The prospect was looking great, from matching the beat to creating an integrated mini-DAW. However, Butter Robot was announced, and the engineers were moved to it instead.

The team is developing a mobile game – “Space County”, which will simulate management of a town on an alien planet. The game will emphasize on teaching students in a fun way, how collecting data makes a difference in managing a town and for the betterment of the people. <img width="200" height="367" width_o="200" height_o="367" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a404129634b63f5bf0d7f4c55e597664d98472370986b2681128d0fdeda9fa09/spacecountryphone.png" data-mid="191542942" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/200/i/a404129634b63f5bf0d7f4c55e597664d98472370986b2681128d0fdeda9fa09/spacecountryphone.png" /> Design and Implementation Under Construction.

With cross-platform of PC and VR, the goal of the project is to simulate the operation of metal AM machine and provide instructional support for engineering students. Students will not only have detailed instructions and assessments on the PC platform but also have a practical experience operating the machine in the virtual world. Project Hot Metal will also integrate the prototype with a machine-based tutor created with CTAT (the Cognitive Tutor Authoring Tools), developed by the Human-Computer Interaction Institute (HCII) at Carnegie Mellon University. <img width="656" height="381" width_o="656" height_o="381" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/42e24eda18a1e8b32a3f511aa4caa8ad1783cc4babd07a54e34db8d7a4a173ea/hot-metal-removebg-preview.png" data-mid="191543207" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/656/i/42e24eda18a1e8b32a3f511aa4caa8ad1783cc4babd07a54e34db8d7a4a173ea/hot-metal-removebg-preview.png" /> Design and Implementation Under Construction.
