This is a scalable, multi-sensory game solution. Players assume the roles of various dragons to explore, uncover mysteries, and engage in combat. The multi-sensory design ensures accessibility for visually impaired users, while the modular architecture supports user-generated map customization, offering an enriched and adaptable gameplay experience. This project was featured in the “Endless Vitality: Seeking Dragons in China” exhibition, jointly organized by the Palace Museum in Beijing and the Hong Kong Jockey Club.

Metaverse community for mental well-being
2023-2025
This project creates a space to reduce stress among campus faculty and students. Unlike traditional relaxation areas, this space is equipped with virtual reality (VR) devices, allowing users to immerse themselves in a custom-designed VR healing environment that we created. The project won the outstanding RBM project, best environmental award, best creative design award, and best practical design award for Cultural and Creative Design Competition organized by Red Bird Maker Space, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou).

Ripples on Ruins
2024
In an era dominated by technology and capital efficiency, our encounters with nature are increasingly mediated through digital platforms—whether through short videos, video games, or travel advertisements—highlighting the growing disconnect between humanity and the natural world. This exhibition explores the intricate relationship between nature, technology, and human sensory experience in contemporary society and seeks to provoke reflection on this phenomenon. This exhibition proposal has been shortlisted for the Young Curators Program organized by ENNOVA ART MUSEUM.
