XtraOrdinary Interactions

XtraOrdinary Interactions™ (XOI – pronounced “choi”) is a set of cross-platform Virtual Force Feedback™ tools from MONKEYmedia. It plugs into Macromedia Director to assist multimedia developers with implementing modified interpretations of input devices. Working with the CEO and two engineers in a small startup, I took on many roles:

  • Interaction designer: determined interactions of tool’s interfaces.
  • Engineer: wired all control panel functionalities in Director’s Lingo.
  • Interface designer: structured features to 6 efficient sections.
  • 3D modeler & animator: generated graphics for control panel interface and samples in the gallery.
