Service Now: Shot Challenge

A real-time XR speed-run challenge putting NHL fans directly into an immersive game environment to face off against a goalie in a personalized, high-octane cinematic.

Overview

We turned fans into the stars of their own hockey highlights. Using real-time volumetric capture, users are teleported into an immersive AAA-style game environment. From navigating a high-speed obstacle course to starring in a theatrical cinematic goal-scoring sequence, participants experience the rush of the pro league, seeing their own likeness score the game-winning goal in stunning realism

High Stakes Cinematic Animation & Layout

Collaborating with senior animators, I developed the foundational animatics and scene layouts to engineer a high-impact, shareable video takeaway for users. I oversaw the virtual environment's spatial composition and cinematic camera staging, successfully capturing the high-stakes energy of a live NHL arena.

Speed Run Mini-Game

Users were able to play as their "digital doubles," the project places them at the center of an interactive obstacle course. The experience culminates in a dynamically rendered cinematic sequence, featuring the user in a high-stakes showdown as they sprint down the ice to face off against a professional goalie.

User Journey

I co-led the UX architecture to streamline the fan journey from physical registration to real-time XR engagement, ensuring strict brand consistency across every digital and physical touchpoint.
