Development

During my internship at XR-Lab in Hilversum, I had the opportunity to contribute to the development of Kara-Oké, an exciting VR game designed for music lovers. Working alongside a team of eight talented individuals, I served as the product owner, gaining valuable insights into customer representation and satisfaction.

Kara-Oké was created using Unity and C#, specifically for the MetaQuest 2 VR platform, in response to a request from the TV channel AVROTROS. While the primary focus was on delivering an unforgettable karaoke experience, we encountered challenges along the way. Notably, we had to make the difficult decision to let go of the multiplayer feature due to resource and time constraints.

My role as the product owner involved ensuring that the game aligned with the client's vision while considering the needs and expectations of the target audience. This experience provided me with a deep understanding of how to best represent the customer and optimize their gaming experience.

Throughout the development process, I gained valuable insights into the intricacies of creating an immersive VR adventure. From refining gameplay mechanics to designing intuitive controls, every aspect required careful consideration to provide an engaging and seamless experience for players.

Contributing to Kara-Oké allowed me to witness the power of collaboration, dedication, and the pursuit of excellence in game development. This experience has shaped my understanding of the intersection between technology and entertainment, as well as the importance of teamwork in delivering a remarkable product.

My involvement in Kara-Oké at XR-Lab was an enriching and memorable experience that highlighted the possibilities and challenges of creating immersive VR games. It has further ignited my passion for pursuing innovative projects and pushing the boundaries of gaming experiences.
