What are some examples of VR interaction design projects that would be appropriate for your portfolio?

Na Media Glass temos experiência com diversas categorias de projetos VR. Mas uma grande adi??o ao portfólio de projetos VR é sem dúvida o conceito de Treinamento VR. Já desenvolvemos treinamentos para empresas de Energia e Petróleo & Gás. Através de uma aplica??o imersiva gamificada, o usuário pode aprender a executar uma determinada opera??o sem a necessidade de estar submetido aos riscos reais. Tais aplica??es s?o ideias para treinamentos de NRs, tais como Trabalho em Altura, Espa?o Confinado etc.

Something that will be a great value add for a portfolio is to demonstrate different abilities of VR and one's expertise and skill set in developing the same. Education in particular offers ample scope to demonstrate the same. VR based learning is bound to produce a better outcome than classroom based learning which offers the ability to learn by doing. So, an application which gives multiple interaction options like Gaze Interaction, Hand Tracking will be more Immersive and at the same time exhibit the faculty of the developers while having them in their portfolio.

An education project is always a great addition to your portfolio. A historic VR piece made out of photogrammetry can be a great example. You can also use VR storytelling with interactions in various fields to showcase physics theorems, mathematic calculations, historic events and geographic terrains. You can also teach extra-curricular activities such as dance and art through VR, which would also be considered an educational piece.

Building a comprehensive VR interaction design portfolio involves including diverse and impactful projects. Examples such as immersive training simulations, virtual museums, and educational experiences showcase your ability to create engaging and user-friendly interactions. Incorporate projects like virtual showrooms, product prototypes, and healthcare simulations to demonstrate versatility. Highlighting VR gaming interactions and architectural walkthroughs further illustrates your proficiency in designing immersive and interactive experiences. By showcasing a range of projects, you not only display technical skills but also emphasize your capability to adapt VR interaction design to various domains and user needs.

Furthermore, combining 3D technologies with AI tools for 3D creations accelerates this entire creative process. The junction of 2 worlds: technology and art, creating a new era that we call AI artists or digital artists.

I always recommend first time devs to have at least one VR game under their belt. They don't have to be large, could be a basic escape room or a simple arcade style of game. Games are always a great first project as it allows you to share something interesting and fun to friends and family and can easily be done by following online tutorials or going to a local jam/hackathon. Making a small game also helps to get your foot in the door and land your first entry level job. A game can show that you know how to use arender engine, create simple win lose states, how to build to a platform, and most importantly finish a project!

Game projects are most of our go-to's as beginners. Be it something very basic, they always are the most interesting when it comes to introducing someone new into the world of VR.
