MUVE: Reconnections

Reconnections is a first-person VR experience developed for the Oculus Quest 2, focused on player-driven moral decision-making in both solo and group settings. The project is a collaborative research effort between the xREAL Lab at CSUSB and the MUVE team in New Mexico, built using Unreal Engine 5 and optimized for standalone VR hardware.

3. Optimization:
