Quarantine Quest
A prototype app that won 2nd place in the 2020 VR Hackathon. The theme of the Hackathon was "touch-free solutions for a post-pandemic world", so my 6 person team and I created an escape room that would be a fun and educational way to teach users about COVID and accessibility challenges.
