Immersive Experience Designer

Your morning is spent in a mixed-reality lab at a Hyderabad studio building an interactive museum experience about the Indus Valley Civilisation — mapping spatial audio triggers to archaeological artefact hotspots in Unity. Afternoons involve a client walkthrough of a corporate training simulation in Meta Quest headsets, debugging haptic feedback synchronisation issues, and sketching storyboards for a new immersive brand activation concept.
