The Clot Thickens Mobile
Infect your way through each level of this 2D arcade mobile game in order to take over every pathetic host, and reign supreme as the greatest living microscopic, single-celled bacterium in the universe! Majestically leap from cell to cell, encircling each with your microbial poison. But watch out for your deadly arch nemeses - the antibodies and antibiotics. One touch, and you will be anti-alive. Now grab your phones and tablets, load the app, don’t wash those hands, and be the bacteria we know you can be!
Android and iOS apps to be released early 2019.
Game created with Unity3D and C# Scripting.

The Cave VR
The Cave aims to make the users aware of the psychological impacts that feelings such as pressure, uncertainty and fear can have on their own decision-making process. Basing on Freud’s tripartite theory of the psyche, we represent its main concepts, the Id and the Super-ego, as voices played inside the player’s head and with that we aim to convey the roles of these parts in the human psyche.
Game created using HTC Vive, Unity3D, VRToolKit and C# Scripting.

Dah Mansion
The physical dimension meets the spiritual dimension in Dah Mansion, a quirky 2 player game. Play either as Ralph, a man trying to escape dah mansion by unlocking doors, or as Candice, a ghost whose sole intent is to kill Ralph by unleashing animated books! Candice can animate books to hunt down Ralph, or possess Ralph to hasten his demise. Since darkened rooms generate spiritual energy that empowers Candice’s paranormal abilities, Ralph must continually relight candles or face a swift end!

VR Soccer
VRSoccer is a virtual reality soccer game in which the players can interact with a virtual ball without using controllers. The soccer field and the ball are projected on the ground and a camera attached to the projector captures the players' movements. These images are then processed to simulate the interactions with the virtual ball.
Game created with Unity3D and OpenCV.

A Procedural Approach to Model Groups of Virtual Agents
Simulation of everyday situations from real life can be a very useful tool in entertainment applications and training systems. Such applications, as games or computer animated movies usually need to provide virtual environments populated with virtual autonomous agents. Commonly, the agents need to be able to evolve in their environment, avoiding collision with each other and obstacles, besides interacting with other characters in order to provide realistic simulations. We present a model to simulate coherent group behaviors based on procedural modeling and semantic environments. Our main focus is virtual environments
and agents, present in the background of games or movies generated with few/without user intervention.
Technologies: C++; OpenGL; Microsoft Visual Studio.

CrowdVis : A Framework For Real Time Crowd Visualization
Crowd visualization is present mostly in digital games and computer animated movies, but are also observed in simulations and virtual reality applications. In crowd simulations we should represent the behavior of agents given different scenarios, and also, such simulations can be provided by different softwares and tools. This paper presents a framework for real time crowd visualization, that no programming knowledge and modeling skills are required from the users. Our main goal is to be able to visualize previously created crowd simulations in real time, combining rendering techniques and providing easy support for
managing the scene and the virtual humans.

VhCVE: A Collaborative Virtual Environment Including Facial Animation and Computer Vision
In this paper we present a platform called VhCVE, in which relevant issues related to Collaborative Virtual Environments applications are integrated. The main goal is to provide a framework where participants can interact with others by voice and chat. Also, manipulation tools such as a mouse using Computer Vision and Physics are included, as well as rendering techniques (e.g. light sources, shadows and weather effects). In addition, avatar animation in terms of face and body motion is provided. Results indicate that our platform can be used as an
interactive virtual world to help communication among people.

Evaluation of the Uncanny Valley in CG Characters
This article revisits the uncanny valley subject in order to evaluate its effects on people’s perception of Computed Graphics (CG) characters from movies and games. We analyzed the ”uncanny” rates given by the users and as result we obtained a graph quite similar to the original on proposed by Mori.
