Developed a browser-based augmented reality prototype inspired by the traditional Japanese Kingyo Sukui (Goldfish Scooping) festival game.
The project was designed as a location-based multiplayer experience where multiple players share the same virtual environment in real time. Rather than each device running an independent game, all participants interact with a synchronized set of virtual goldfish, requiring low-latency networking and consistent state management across devices.
Responsibilities
Designed and implemented the browser-based WebAR experience
Developed real-time multiplayer synchronization
Implemented marker-based spatial alignment
Built motion-based interaction mechanics using mobile device sensors
Created responsive gameplay systems for synchronized scoring and game flow
Optimized the experience for Android mobile browsers
Technologies
TypeScript
JavaScript (ES Modules)
Three.js
WebAR
WebSockets
HTML5 / CSS3
Mobile browser APIs (Camera, Device Orientation, Device Motion)
Highlights
Browser-based AR experience with no native app installation
Shared multiplayer game state across multiple devices
Real-time synchronization over local Wi-Fi
Motion-based gameplay using smartphone sensors
Interactive 3D graphics and animation
Production-oriented modular architecture
Results
The project demonstrates the integration of real-time networking, computer graphics, browser-based augmented reality, and interactive user experience design for location-based entertainment applications.

A traditional Vietnamese phin coffee filter and coffee beans revealed through a shader-based reveal with the phin going from assembled to disassembled parts and the beans going in helix path around it.
Few mouse interactions: slight parallax on the phin, light following the cursor, and the beans have physics to push them around. Post-processing and steady 60fps thanks to three.js. The scene (1.5 MB of assets) loading is deferred to not block the page loading/main thread since it's not visible without user interaction.

What is this game?
This is a multi-level brain puzzle game designed to test the player’s observation, memory, logic, and problem-solving skills. The game includes 7 unique levels, with each level becoming more challenging than the previous one. Players must complete each puzzle to unlock the next level.
Each level provides 15 seconds to solve the challenge. If the player completes the puzzle within the time limit, they progress to the next level. As the game advances, the puzzles become more difficult and require greater focus and critical thinking.
Why was this game created?
This game was created to provide a fun and interactive way to improve cognitive skills while keeping players entertained. The progressive difficulty encourages learning, strategic thinking, and replayability, making players want to return and beat every level while improving their performance.
Pet Feast Hats is an AR wearable Lens inspired by the characters from my game, Pet Feast.
The goal was to extend the game's universe beyond gameplay by creating a fun cosmetic experience where users can virtually wear their favorite characters as hats.
This project explores character-driven AR, lightweight wearable design, and creating complementary experiences that strengthen a game's identity.
