phone based interaction for unreal

I'm experimenting with a few interactions based on this idea :)

I'd love to get other perspectives, what would be the first use case that comes to mind for you?

Just delivered this project to a client today. Any feedback?

I just turned in these renderings today; if you have any feedback, I’d love to hear it. It was for the renovation of an apartment in Rome with the furniture already chosen. I always have a hard time recreating the view outside the windows, and you can tell that the view from the TV wall wasn’t part of the original plan, I was asked to add it at the last minute. All in all, though, all this yellow isn’t so bad.

P.S. The close-up of the pancakes was clearly not requested. I just got carried away XD

Private Residence | Rome

Looking for feedback on these interior renders before adding them to my portfolio, I've been staring at them for too long and would appreciate a fresh pair of eyes :)

Looking for feedback on the design of my personal website

I'm currently rebuilding my personal website and would love some feedback on the design direction.

At the moment, the projects are intentionally blurred and marked as "Coming Soon" while I prepare the actual case studies, so I'm not looking for portfolio feedback yet.

What I'm mainly trying to evaluate is:

- First impression

- Visual identity and layout

- Overall credibility and professionalism

- Whether the design feels coherent and intentional

I'm particularly curious about, after spending 20–30 seconds on the site, what kind of professional do you think I am?

Any honest feedback is welcome.

Does the initial interface metaphor of a product create evolutionary inertia?

I jotted down a raw thought about metaphors in design and AI agents.
One thing I've been wondering is whether the initial metaphor we choose to represent a technology ends up influencing its long-term trajectory.
I'd love to hear feedbacks, or other perspectives on it.

How to transition from 3D visualization to Interactive XR? - Advice needed

Hi everyone,

I’m a 21-year-old self-taught 3D generalist/creative technologist. For the past nearly 3 years, I’ve been working part-time doing architectural visualization, but my real passion lies in Spatial Computing, AR, and Mixed Reality.

I want to transition into full-time XR freelancing, but I’m trying to figure out the most effective business strategy to land my first independent clients in today's market.

My current tech stack & experience:

Unreal Engine: Strong with Blueprints, interactive logic, material shaders, and editor tools. (Recently collaborated with a university research team to build a VR survey system).
Phygital/Hardware: Experienced in connecting physical sensors (Arduino/ESP32) to real-time 3d applications .
Prototyping: Fast at building POCs

I don't have a traditional university degree, so my entire career relies on what I can actually build. Given how the market has evolved, should I focus heavily on inbound marketing building in public, consistently sharing interactive prototypes on LinkedIn/X/Reddit and waiting for leads, or should I shift my energy toward aggressive outbound?

In 2026, which of these two approaches is yielding better results for solo XR developers?

What kind of interactive prototype should I absolutely showcase in my portfolio right now to prove I’m production-ready?

Are there specific industries (retail, marketing, industrial training) that are currently starving for interactive/phygital XR freelancers?

Any advice, critique, or direction would be immensely appreciated. Thank you!
