Role

Timeline
6 Weeks
Tools
UE5, Figma, Blender, After Effects
Status
Under NDA
Problem
Few Samsung users knew avatars existed, and deaf and mute people had no natural way to talk with hearing people in virtual spaces.
What I did
As lead XR concept designer, I ran the research, reframed the problem, designed the interaction concept and directed the final prototype video.
Outcome
An avatar-based sign language translator concept for Samsung XR headsets, delivered as a high-fidelity prototype video.
Samsung PRISM pairs student teams with mentors from Samsung R&D Institute, Bengaluru, for short industry projects. My team of four had six weeks to find new uses for Samsung Avatars in XR. I led the concept design, from desk research and interviews through to the final prototype.
