Introduction
“Afternoon. In a familiar room, I slowly open my eyes. Sunlight warms my face. Today is a special day.
Lately, my memory hasn’t been great. Time doesn’t move faster or slower for me—it just feels like there’s a part missing…”
The Insider is the first XR narrative interactive experience co-produced by BaiBai Image and CURIOSKI.
In this story, the audience becomes "Peter," a protagonist trapped in his own memories. To make sense of the world around him, he must rely on fragmented memories from his three alter egos.
The work explores how our past experiences shape our understanding of the present and aims to inspire deeper reflection on self-awareness and the meaning of existence.

What's My Part?
Contribution: Lead Programmer.
The Insider is an interactive MR experience. I served as the lead engineer, responsible for building and planning the overall game experience architecture.
In addition to implementing Passthrough for the first time, the experience is entirely operated through hand tracking—no controllers are needed.
Room Planning
During the experience, real and virtual objects are seamlessly overlaid. Players can see both physical and digital elements simultaneously and engage in physical interactions with their surroundings—such as touching a real table or lying down on an actual bed in the room.
To ensure alignment with the real-world environment, I implemented Spatial Anchors, allowing virtual objects to automatically locate anchor points and lock their coordinates. This ensures players can accurately interact with objects throughout the experience.
4DViews
This project incorporates volumetric video captured with 4DViews, faithfully recreating the actors’ movements and appearances within the virtual space.
Players can observe the performance from multiple angles, enhancing immersion and presence.
