Fragile is a gamified educational mobile application designed to teach teenagers aged 13 to 17 about the physical consequences of facial violence, specifically orbital floor fractures and diplopia. Built in Unity 6 for Android, the application guides participants through three sections: Explore, which delivers interactive clinical content including 3D orbital fracture models and an augmented reality simulation of double vision; Apply, which introduces the 5Ds of Bystander Intervention; and Evaluate, a scored quiz with a tiered badge reward system. Orbis, a custom-designed instructional character, guides participants throughout, making complex medical concepts accessible, engaging, and memorable for a teenage audience. This was made with the supervision of Professor Christine Goodall and Dr Matthieu Poayde.

It was a collaborative and coordinated effort on an interactive interface for educational purposes, in this case to teach children the consequences of thumb sucking. This was made with the interest of teaching participants about thumb sucking and deformation of the teeth.

Steps that we have done

• Coordinated a cross-functional student team, aligning members on educational objectives and session structure; contributed clinical expertise in paediatric dental development.
• Designed scenes showing the animation of thumb sucking and how teeth get misaligned, controlled using a slider
• Sourced models from Sketchfab, retopologised and corrected accordingly
• Used Unity for animations and C# scripting to control the slider mechanism and buttons

Result: A part of the project showing animations of a child sucking their thumb, how teeth get misaligned, and what a parent should do to educate the child and stop the habit.

This project was a 3D modelling summative assignment. It is a passion project combining muscle movements and an Indian dance form, where I have  created an animation showing movement of the arm and hand bones and muscle contraction while performing certain mudras

Steps I have taken to achive this:

• Retopologised and modelled the complete right upper limb skeleton, including all 27 hand bones, using Adobe 3ds Max and Maxon ZBrush
• Sculpted the Flexor Digitorum Profundus from scratch in ZBrush
• Created alphas and textures for bones and muscle using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator
• Animated the hand performing Bharatanatyam mudras in 3ds Max, showing joint mechanics, tendon attachments, and anatomical range of motion, edited in Adobe After Effects

The result was an animation video showing the Bharatanatyam mudras, demonstrating precise understanding of joint mechanics, tendon attachments, and anatomical range of motion. I have learnt a lot through this project, not just about animations and 3D modelling but also rendering, video editing on Adobe After Effects and Camera work.
