WORK SUMMARY
Supporting Tech Developers and QA Lead in final months of production to ensure system stability and consistency through playtesting, debugging, and 3D model/environment improvements. Majority of focus was on improvements to Magic Leap depth sensors, plane/marker tracking, live show control sync, debug reporting, and technical fixes/reporting.
Further support was provided in Unity project bug fix backlogs and through conducting user testing workshops, notation, and evaluation. This continued into the production period with on-call support, rapid bug fixing, further user testing, and collecting live show user data for report and evaluation.
