Shroom Hats is a 2-players stereoscopic game in CAVERN. Our project is a technical exploration of enhancing 2 players interactions in the CAVERN environment, a 270-degree circular screen and a 20-foot-wide play area, with head-tracking and stereo-vision.

In our game, players will take roles as moles who are riding on the train together. While on the train, they will need to collect magical mushrooms hats at the "shroom stops", and dodge the obstacles carefully to protect the mushrooms they've collected. At the end, the moles will know how many mushrooms they've collected as a team, and compete with other teams.  

I'm the producer/project manager who's in charge of planning and allocating tasks, keeping track of the development progress, hosting playtest sessions, and communicating with both instructors and clients to fulfill the project requirements. Moreover, I actively participate as a game designer and UX designer to support my team and enhance the entire experience.
