Inspiration

Both of us are currently in search of employment, and we are interested in creating a resource that could help others in a similar situation boost their prospects of finding a job!

What it does

MISA is a virtual mock interview simulator assistant that helps job seekers ace their behavioral interviews! By using PICO's interaction pack and the OpenAI API, MISA can evaluate users' spoken answers and face and body language to give helpful and dynamic advice on how users can improve their interviews.

How we built it

For this design document demonstration, we designed all UI in Figma and drew in Procreate. As for all scene and character modeling, we used Blender and then used Mixamo for character rigging and animation. However, if we were to build this out, we would use Unity. This choice stems from Unity's compatibility with PICO toolkits and other APIs essential to our project.

Challenges we ran into

We spent a lot of time trying to design and model a suitable character for our application. We wanted something representing the self-improvement journey the user would experience when practicing with MISA. In the end, we chose a shape-shifting entity that could transform into a human for interview practice and into a cute little creature when providing feedback to keep the design consistent.
