Cloudbreakers shipped! (original) (raw)

I’m proud to announce we’ve shipped Cloudbreaks: Leaving Haven, a Holoride experience. Holoride is a technology that brings your vehicle’s movements to your VR headset. Cloudbreaks is a launch title for Holoride.

I served as Technical Director and Principal Engineer for this awesome project. Some particularly interesting challenges we overcame include:

• delivering performance on mobile hardware, maintaining both framerate and expected graphics fidelity
• delivering consistent bandwidth and player experience across the various signals (network and gps)
• maintaining stability and delivering on-time/budget on a rapidly changing SDK
• ensuring user comfort throughout the experience
• integration of client requested NFT Collection
