Proto Indo European and the Pit Grave Culture VR Game
C++ Unreal project, exploring the use of computer graphics and games in linguistic cultural heritage preservation.
Key Points:
Analysed in depth an existing approach to using computer graphics techniques to aid in cultural heritage preservation.
Researched Proto-Indo European languages and their relation to excavated artefacts of the Pit Grave culture which I used as a basis for my own preservation project.
Coded a VR experience to allow the player to interact with modelled objects based on Pit-Grave artefacts, letting the player see the relation between PIE words for the objects and their etymological descendants in modern English to create a novel method for intangible cultural heritage preservation.

Below are some of the assets created for the project, directly based on diagrams from research papers on pit grave sites which are cited in the accompanying paper. They were modelled and UVd in Maya, and textured in Substance Painter.
