Early development of a prototype for a 3D retail store based on a 3rd-person view and interactions with store items within a virtual mall. The project consisted of implementing dynamic store areas, entertaining games, and improving the visuals of the environment. To import real products as virtual store items, a unique hardware setup was developed to scan the items on a rotatable table with a combination of high-quality digital cameras and depth sensors from the Kinect device.

This was a project for an iOS poker game prototype with unique touch gestures. We've built a cloud-service-driven game using Microsoft Azure and PubNub networking. We've also built a game with Unity and integrated Facebook login, friends lists, and in-app purchases.
