XIST is Infinite Form’s immersive technology platform, designed to transform any venue into a limitless playground. It combines free-roam VR, mixed reality. From large-scale adventures to fast-paced challenges, the platform blends cutting-edge hardware with intuitive design and storytelling to deliver unforgettable interactive experiences.
I worked as the primary programmer in Unity3D, developing games spanning story-driven, action, and puzzle experiences. I created core systems used across all titles, including the player IK rig, VR interaction system, and multiplayer logic. I prototyped key mechanics, from virtually separating players to core gameplay. I helped organize playtesting sessions, iterating on feedback to refine the experiences. The games were designed for 1–6 players, though the system could accommodate more, and were installed across four different locations. All the games ran natively on the Pico 3 and Pico 4.
