I worked with Estella Tse, an XR artist, and Katie Hughes, an XR user experience designer, to build this pet dog for the Microsoft Hololens during a 3-day VR hackathon. Our dog, Buster, knew a few voice commands, like speak, sit, and a very comicalplay dead. I was a developer for this project and used Unity with a Hololens SDK, while Estella helped with developing for the dog interactions and project managing, and Katie mapped out the user experience and vision.

During this hackathon, we won a prize for Best Social VR based on the vision we had for this product beyond this initial demo.
