On this project I worked as part of the Framestore VR team to create an immersive VR experience incorporating high-resolution 360-degree footage of each Island of Hawaii.

The project was created with Unreal Engine 4 utilizing custom video playback system which I helped to develop in-house. My role on this project was to enhance the video playback system significantly and allow it to be incorporated into third party systems.

My specific contributions to this project included:

• Designed and developed systems and techniques for Stereo Spherical 4K Video Playback within a VR headset
• Implemented multi audio stream decoding and playback synced with multi video playback
• Incorporated audio stream decoding system into third party directional audio library for immersive audio effect
• Developed a system to package video player plugin for distribution to vendors
