Chetu Develops for Unbox VR by Utilizing Maya: Craft Immersive Experiences through VR Applications

The customer, Meuy Xaimuangmonh, and his company, Unbox VR, faced the challenge of creating a prototype application that would help them understand the advantages and limitations of virtual reality (VR) for their ambitious project. The client’s ultimate project is an app that allows users to explore a virtual world of different eras with a realistic experience of what living in that time would be like. They needed a reliable developer with specialized VR app development expertise to achieve this objective.

The primary, measurable goal was to create a prototype app for the client’s project, with the intent to provide a better understanding of the technical potential of VR, supporting Unbox VR’s creative aspirations and funding goals. A key objective within the goal was to enable users to use the same pre-defined Oculus guardian space for endless exploration of the virtual world, retaining realism and not requiring the purchase of additional equipment.

Chetu took on the project goals with an emphasis on a technique known as virtual reality stitching, which allows for seamless transition of the user’s view or perspective within the guardian space. This technique is intended to provide a more immersive and natural experience for the user, allowing for exploration of a larger virtual space while remaining within real-world physical constraints.

Chetu developed the innovative prototype VR app by leveraging a family of tools, including Autodesk Maya, which played a pivotal role in developing complex 3D assets and environments, which would be exported into Unity. Maya enhanced the complexity and visual richness of the 3D assets and environments. Maya’s robust set of 3D modeling and animation tools allowed Chetu’s development team to create visually compelling elements for a rich overall user experience. The integration of Maya into the development process underscored the commitment to delivering high-quality visual components to meet the specific demands of such an innovative project.

Chetu’s prototype VR app development provided Unbox VR with valuable insights into the technical potential of VR. The customer mentioned that the knowledge gained from the demo served as a starting point, enabling his team to build a new application from the ground up. The successful completion of this demo helps Unbox VR increase their chances of achieving their creative goals and securing funding. Chetu’s expertise and services helped position Unbox VR for success in their upcoming release of a groundbreaking VR experience.

Chetu’s detailed support and responsiveness throughout the development process made the experience unique and impactful for the customer. In his words: “You guys were responsive and as a developer, you guys gave me all the details I needed and were easy to reach.” The project’s success not only aided Unbox VR’s immediate goals, but also opened opportunity for future endeavors, demonstrating Chetu’s VR app development capabilities and its mission to drive innovation for clients, especially when building custom solutions leveraging cutting-edge partner products such as Autodesk Maya.
