FLOAT - A MIXED REALITY EXPERIENCE
| Scope: | 6 months | 6 team members |
| Plattform: | Meta Quest 2, Pro and 3/ 3S |
| Role: | Game Producer, Game Design and Sound Design |
| Description: | FLOAT is a controller-free mixed reality experience that combines immersive gaming with medical research. Players use intuitive hand gestures to solve puzzles and restore a fragmented world, while the game anonymously collects movement data to train AI for affordable myoelectric prosthetics. |
"As the Producer and Vision Keeper of FLOAT - A MIXED REALITY EXPERIENCE, I led a six-person interdisciplinary team through the entire development lifecycle. Developed for the Frankfurt-based startup MyoMod, the project required the seamless integration of their proprietary muscle-contraction bracelet to validate the 11 primary human hand gestures. I was responsible for the strategic production planning, stakeholder communication, and the implementation of a tailored Agile workflow that guided the project from a hardware-specific prototype to a successful full release on the Meta Horizon Store.Beyond my leadership role, I acted as the creative anchor by contributing to game design and managing the entire sound design and marketing funnel. This included trailer production, social media strategy, and public relations, ensuring a cohesive brand identity from day one. Today, FLOAT maintains an outstanding 4.8-star rating on the Meta Horizon Store, a testament to the rigorous quality standards I implemented.Under my direction, FLOAT became a highly decorated project, winning the VARJO Student Contest for Outstanding XR Projects, the German Multimedia Prize, and the Best Student Game Award in the category 'Meaningful Game'. I also secured the team’s acceptance into the Meta Start Program. I coordinated high-profile appearances at Gamescom 2025, GermanDevDays, and the Next Reality Festival, and presented our technological approach to industry leaders such as Bosch Rexroth and at various Science Slams."
