Expedition Earth (Ride Proposal for Amusement Park Course)

Ride Proposal Final Presentation

L3, team of three (Linnette Martinez, Leigh Fisher and Leia Chang) spend 5 week iterating a ride proposal while integrating various components to convey the message and kind of experience the guess would. We created a virtual ride walk-through using Unreal Engine and connected key movements to a Stewart platform to mimic how the ride would be ridden. This was done after creating a physical layout and walkthrough of the experience.
