Arti AR

Unreal Engine Plugin

An Unreal Engine plugin that consolidates all
AR templates logic for Arti’s 3D Designers, serving
as the initial step. Built as an in-house tool using
Unreal’s GUI system, it could be controlled
directly from within the engine and was
connected to Arti’s servers. It allowed designers
to upload assets, enabling design flexibility and
customization.

XR Design & Prototyping

I explore experimental interactions in XR,
focusing on how users engage with digital
environments beyond traditional screens.
From hand gesture controls to spatial UI concepts,
