Overview
For the Immersive Academy’s Capstone Showcase, I designed the full spatial experience—from environmental planning to live performance integration. Using photogrammetry, 3D modeling, and virtual production tools, I created a digital twin of the venue that allowed the teams to accurately plan installations, traffic flow, and technical requirements. I also conceptualized and directed Resonance, a live motion capture performance that continues to evolve as an ongoing immersive project.
 
Tools & Technologies

• Polycam / Photogrammetry — venue capture & asset reconstruction

• Blender — 3D cleanup, measurement accuracy, and environment layout, character design

• Meshy AI — Character Design

• Unreal Engine — digital twin development, spatial visualization, lighting tests

• Miro / Google Suite — spatial planning documents, station layouts, production scheduling

• Sony Mocopi — for the Resonance live performance
   

Process
Spatial Digital Twin & Technical Planning

• Captured the entire venue using photogrammetry and reconstructed a precise 3D model to ensure accurate scale, flow, and line-of-sight planning.

• Imported and refined the model in Blender.

• Built a virtual replica of the space in Unreal to simulate audience flow, booth placement, performances, and technical zones.

• Created comprehensive spatial plans and setup documents outlining equipment placement, power needs, motion paths, accessibility, and staging.

Coordination & Creative Direction

• Collaborated with the venue team, instructors, and student groups to align on logistics, safety, and production design.

• Designed the run-of-show structure and coordinated transitions between presentations, exploration breaks, and performances.

• Conceptualized and directed Resonance—a live motion capture performance exploring movement, emotion, and digital embodiment—integrating it seamlessly into the event layout and screen systems.

Result
The Capstone Showcase became a fully immersive, highly coordinated environment where participants, guests, and performers engaged fluidly across digital and physical layers. Key outcomes included:

• A production-ready digital twin that guided all design, technical, and logistical decisions.

• Smooth day-of execution due to clear spatial documentation and setup planning.

• A cohesive environment that elevated each student team’s work through intentional layout, lighting, and audience flow.

• A successful debut of Resonance, which continues to grow as an ongoing motion-capture performance and research project.
