Muscle Action VR is a virtual reality application that offers users a more embodied experience for learning muscles in human anatomy. The main module, Muscle Tracking Lab, simulates real-time muscle movements based on the user’s actions and bodily movement.

Development COntribution

  • Gameplay Programming - Developed the lesson and tutorial structure. Created a portion of the muscle detection system to determine contraction and relaxation for both lesson completion and visual feedback on muscles.
