Project Description

VVITA is a new generation of interactive therapy space - a playful, expressive environment where therapist and patient explore and cooperate - was designed to help treat patients with phantom limb pain incurred as a result of amputation. Additionally, VVITA prepares and trains patients for the reception of a new advanced prosthetic limb through its integration fo a special myocontroller (muscle sensor). This controller is also used in the eventual prosthetic a player receives after therapy - players will already be familiar with how to operate it.

I worked on the VVITA Project as a designer and 3D artist in collaboration with NEEEU.IO - a Berlin based art and creative technology studio, and their partners at the German Aerospace Center (DLR).

You can read NEEEU’s report on the project here.

During production, I also mentored another 3D artist to work within the established style, introducing modeling concepts, workflow, an pipeline.

As a game designer, In contributed to the ideation and basic design of in game activities, working closely with the more technical developer on the team.
