Astaire Description
Despite the growth of virtual reality (VR), the design space of collocated social play in VR remains narrow. Astaire is a collaborative hybrid VR dance game for two players sharing an HTC Vive VR system and includes social touch, asymmetric, and interdependent play.

My Role
I was a design researcher for Astaire. Using Bodystorming methodologies, I participated in exploring the design space and pushing the boundaries of mixed reality social play. Other collaborators implemented Astaire and led the user testing.
