WHMIS 2015 VR
Maya . Unity | Developed for Valve Index, HTC Vive, and Oculus Rift | This project was finalized in January 2022
This VR game was developed by a collaborative team of talented creatives, including Elixa Neumann (M. EdTech, Instructional Designer), Dr. Abraham Hashemian (PhD in Metaverse Applications and Senior Software Engineer), Siavash Rahmani (Music Composer), Hamed Shamloo (2D Character Animator), and Mojgan Askari (UI Designer). As a 3D modeler and animator on the project, I, was responsible for tasks such as modeling, lighting, texturing, optimizing, animating, and dynamics, and I thoroughly enjoyed creating the realistic and immersive environments for the game. Built using the Unity game engine, the project was designed as a VR game for K-12 education and occupational health & safety training. Its purpose is to increase awareness and compliance among workers by adhering to the official WHMIS 2015 guidelines and regulations.
For a deeper insight, the full transcript of Myk Eff’s interview with Elixa and Abraham is accessible here.
I hope you will give it a try and let me know what you think. The game is currently available for download on Steam.

In this app, a robot named Glitch is responsible for doing some tasks, such as bringing containers of chemical substances that may be hazardous. The model of this robot was created in Maya and then for its textures, Substance 3D Painter was used.
