MrRodrigo Dias Takase

I am a Computer Engineer specialising in game development, simulation, and extended reality (XR). I am currently a Game Developer at HIT Lab NZ, University of Canterbury, where I develop interactive and immersive applications for research and education.

At HIT Lab NZ, I have developed educational games and simulation-based applications using Unity across virtual reality (VR), mixed reality (MR), and mobile platforms. My current work includes the VR Baby project, an immersive simulation that explores interactive learning experiences in VR, as well as Anestha, a dental anaesthesia training simulator combining XR and physical interaction. I have also contributed to the development of educational games designed to support engaging and interactive learning experiences.

My interests include game development, simulation, XR interaction, and educational technology, with a focus on using interactive and immersive technologies to create engaging learning and training experiences.
