Kinetica gamifies different aspects of fitness within a virtual, social context. Individuals can exercise alone, with many others, and with a specialist (trainer, therapist, clinician). This Hackathon build allows for two people to enter into a beautiful environment where one user(the Trainer) guides the other user (Trainee) through different body movements. These movements could be traditional workout moves (arm raises, curls, squats), sports-specific mechanics (golf swing, yoga, karate maneuvers), dance moves, or physical therapy exercises to promote targeted mobility. The Microsoft Kinect allows for non-intrusive full body tracking with high accuracy and low latency, allowing the user to see a direct overlay of the trainer along with multiple perspectives of themselves.

Description
A team at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory is looking at lava tubes as potential shelters from the harsh environment on the surface of Mars. Virtual reality provides a unique way to visualize the data that will be gathered by rovers exploring the lava tubes. Working with JPL, my team and I produced this proof of concept VR application that help visualize data gathered from a simulation of such an exploration.

A single lava tube is explored by five rovers. The user is able to see each rover's camera feed, and the surface seen by the rovers is highlighted. Data points are navigable with the ability to increment and decrement time. Different perspectives are achievable by transforming the tube to the desired position, rotation, and size, as well as by teleporting into the tube. Information can be turned on and off to allow for a focused look at the desired data.

Motivated by a form of free-flow dance called ecstatic dance, my group and I wanted to recreate the flow-state achieved by ecstatic dancing through VR. Ecstasis is a music-driven VR experience that brings users through a journey from birth to enlightenment, in which they will discover an increasing connection to their environment and that they are not alone in the journey.

This multiplayer VR experience was created in two weeks by me and an amazing team as students of the Class of 2017 at the Upload VR Master Program in Los Angeles.
