Hi, I'm Alvin! As a recent UCLA graduate, I'm interested in software development
for technologies related to virtual and augmented realities (VR/AR).
6 years ago, I received my pre-order of the Oculus Rift DK1. Since then, my passion for VR/AR has only grown, motivating me
to pursue all sorts of projects in these fields. Now, I'm starting a
VR production company that
creates highly interactive VR and AR games, as well as immersive experiences for trade shows, commercials, training programs.
Our mission is to use VR and AR as a medium that can change the way people view the world.
During my time at UCLA, I was a programmer and research assistant for
two psychology labs, where I investigated
neurological markers of human intelligence, observed the effects of learning in VR, and
used VR to study the visual illusions that occur with tilted rooms.
I also mentor at and
participate in hackathons, where my teams and I have built really cool projects, like
a mind-controlled car, full-body VR, AR search, heart rate-based FPS, and more!
In my free time, I
shot arrows and
taught kids how to code.
Now, I go to real life escape rooms, participate in alternate reality games, and play video games with friends.
