Becoming (2022)

Becoming is a virtual reality composition based on a Persian poem by Mowlana Rumi. The piece explores the evolution of organic elements on Earth. The piece offers visual, auditory, and tactile experiences to the audience, which are generated in response to a player’s interactions with the environment. Under the direction of Professor Shahrokh Yadegari, I was responsible for developing a spatial audio playback system, utilizing the Space3D plugin, arranging audio composition, constructing graphical objects, and managing player interactions. As I designed each element in the piece, I incorporated and combined the latest technologies available, such as particle collision and hand tracking to allow players to dynamically interact with the environment.

The piece was presented at ACM SIGGRAPH 2022 - Immersive Pavilion. More information about this project can be found at Sonic Arts website.
