VR Culinary Tourism Experience
As part of the Technology Tourism Austria 2023 hackathon, we designed and developed a VR culinary experience for learning how to cook a schnitzel at the top of the Alps. This project resulted as the 2nd place winner out of 40 teams.
Cooking A Schnitzel With Bodily Play
VR interfaces were designed with spatial affordances and screen-based interactions to present user with appropriate cooking instructions without obstructing their view
AI-Synthesized Audio And Austrian Classics for Storytelling
A bold male voice was generated and incorporated into the interaction as a form of storytelling and audio-video imagery
VR Cooking In Your Hands and Periphery
UX principles for 2D and 3D interface designed were compared and contrasted prior to implementing in the 3D space

X-ray Imaging Human Computer Interface
I researched, redesigned, and prototyped the medPhoton ImagingRing physical and digital interface end-to-end for improved accessibility, mobility and ergonomics. It was very humbling to have introduced UX into an engineering-focused biotech company.
Medical Imaging For The Professionals Without Extensive Device Training.
X-Ray Imaging and Guidance
With Ease
Defined a front and back for user orientation and system guidance, which was previously undefined
Non-essential System Data Minimized
Movement and device orientation information minimized to navigation menu pop-up as an effort reduce visual noise, increase accessibility, and focus on primary interactions
Control Through Voice, Remain Sterile
Voice commands introduced to allow all medical operators to move the x-ray imaging device hands free (with added benefit of now having a defined front and back)
Device and Laser Guidance Clustered
Movement, laser control and fine-tune adjustment controls were clustered to free up physical space and apply a consistent operation metaphor
Some client and personal media projects.

The name's Tran, Corey Tran
As children, my two brothers and I would spend hours button-mashing Super Smash Brothers on our GameCube until dinner rolled around 🎮 Maybe all of that entanglement in the digital realm is what brought me into the UX space🎨
On my first solo trip, I picked up a camera to document my trip 📷 Coincidently, this eventually led me to founding my own photo and video company with friends and fellow camera junkies 🏢 As a sports fanatic my entire life, I was also a senior lifeguard for the municipal government in Edmonton, Canada (where I was born and raised). There, I ensured that my team of 35 were doing well after dealing with emergency situations (it happens a lot), which taught me to be an empathetic and decisive leader 🤵🏻 I've carried all those skills with me to my current place of residence - Salzburg, Austria 🇦🇹.
These days, I fawn over the world of science, the intricacies of culture, and the grandiosities of mother nature (but not without a coffee to start the day). I'm also multilingual, so I guess my brain works fast in funny ways 🤯
While I hold a MSc in HCI, I also have a BSc in Biology. You're probably wondering how a Biologist ended up in the design space. Studying biology has made me realize how everything really is just a network of relationships that affect each other. Biology, design, photography - these are all fields in their own regard, but they all overlap at one intersection. Imagine a photo-loving biotech guy, well that's me :)
