As the first project I tackled after joining Fox, work I accomplished on the Martian VR experience formed the basis for managing future VR games at Fox
The Martian was a technically challenging project as it was locked to an old version of Unreal and included a combination of live-action video, non-interactive CG scenes, and interactive VR sections
Getting the Martian out the door on time was also an epic challenge that could not have been accomplished without the hard work & support from The Third Floor, Epic, and Sony
