NICEverse Multiplayer WebXR Gaming Platform

Built at Aircards for NICE, a global software company, the NICEverse was a multiplayer WebXR gaming platform built for employee engagement at scale. Over 7,500 employees could log in securely and compete across six AR mini-games — single and multiplayer, with practice sessions, qualifying rounds, and a leaderboard culminating in a family trip to Disneyland for top performers. The six games ranged from timed puzzles and scavenger hunts to a platform game and an asteroid avoidance game. Technically, the platform used AR iFrames to embed multiple AR mini-games within a single webpage, which was an innovative approach that kept performance solid and the experience cohesive across the whole system. I worked on two of the six games and the multiplayer notification system. The first was a 3D space game where players used their device's gyroscope to navigate a starship, dodge asteroids and collect power-ups in AR. The second was an underwater puzzle game where players connected pipes within a time limit to keep a stream flowing, set in an immersive 3D underwater environment. I also integrated dynamic sound across both games and built the multiplayer notification system that alerted players to game events and invitations.

Over 60% of NICE's global workforce registered to compete, the highest participation rate in the company's history of annual competitions. Players completed 251,045 game missions in total, averaging over 60 missions each, with average session durations exceeding 11 minutes. The campaign generated 7,745 social shares. New records for web-based mixed reality gameplay.
