EducationXR is an extended reality (XR) platform that addresses creation, deployment, and distribution of immersive content to all phones, tablets, desktops, and VR headsets.

The platform comprises of three main parts:

  1. A Unity package called Caffeine that allows creators to design, publish, and test their EducationXR content from the Unity editor with ease
  2. Viewer applications to consume a creator’s EducationXR content on multiple platforms (Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Oculus Quest, PCVR, Pico, and VisionPro)
  3. A website to manage a creator’s organization, users, roles, and content.

My responsibilities as the Senior Unity Developer laid primarily in the Caffeine package and the viewer applications. Over my nearly 3 years at EducationXR, I led development on many features:

  • web view integration
  • single sign-on authentication
  • code authentication
  • account deletion
  • gradual sign-on and registration
  • PDF attachments
  • URL attachments
  • VR Passthrough
  • Visual scripting node development
  • material optimizer
  • performance debugger
  • and many more

Additionally, I collaborated closely with our development team, participated in company game jams as a form of dogfooding, contributed greatly to UI/UX overhauls, and submitted countless bug fixes.

I implemented single sign-on (SSO) and revamped the authentication UI/UX to make signing in and registration a unified and seamless process. The user can input their email. If an account exists, they may enter a password. If not, they automatically begin the create account wizard. Additionally, if their email is from a domain of an SSO provider we support, they are prompted to sign in through the provider.

I implemented the UI/UX and API interface for code generation. If the user is already signed in somewhere else, perhaps on the website or another application, they can choose to generate a code that can be authorized in one of their active sessions. Once authorized, they are automatically logged in as the authenticating user.

Flow, our visual scripting language, could be used by creators to add rich interactivity to their content. I contributed to the development of dozens of nodes.
