I worked on both the design and implementation of many of the interactives that went into F1. The major one being Design Studio where guests can design their own F1 car. But I also worked on Pitwall, 4D theater, and Pitstop. All made in UE5.

Each of these interactives underwent serious design and redesign up until launch. For example Pitwall started as a competitive game played against other guests. And 4D theater was once planned to be a generative movie using the cars guests designed in the Design Studio. But as we came to launch and F1 saw it in production they had numerous changes they wanted made, luckily we were able to pivot quickly and deliver something they liked.

Designer Interactive was straight forward and did not change much we created it as a car designer similar to ones you would see in a racing game but made simpler in order to keep guests moving through the experience in a timely manner. For this I created a system that would allow us to upload textures to a server and a startup the app would download said textures and they would be applicable to the car, be it as Livery or Patterns. This allowed us to constantly modify the available patterns and livery of the car without needing full redeploys. As well as a system to unwrap the UV’s of the car and send the full car texture to a team to projection map the designed car.

I also was lead of install and responsible for being on site installing each application and fixing bugs and making changes as needed. I was responsible for communicating with each team that would be needed for install including the CEO’s of f1 as well as the hardware companies and contractors of the venue.
