Wildfire Evacuation Simulator.
A Unity simulation project I worked on in 2023, inspired by wildfire evacuations in Southern California.

PROJECT AREAS
INTERACTIVE LEARNING
Turning a difficult real-world situation into an interactive environment.
EARLY RESEARCH
Documented in a U.S. provisional patent application filed February 28, 2023.
Motivation
I lived through wildfire-related disruptions in Irvine. That experience led me to explore whether an interactive simulation could help explain evacuation choices.
Approach
I used a game-engine environment to prototype evacuation scenarios and make the decisions easier to visualize.
Patent application
Associated with U.S. provisional patent application 63/487,265, filed February 28, 2023. This is a provisional filing, not an issued patent.
PROJECT CONTEXT / 2023
Why I built it.
After experiencing wildfire disruptions around Irvine, I became interested in making evacuation decisions easier to explore through an interactive environment. This is a summary of the project's design approach—not a screenshot or validation study.
Wildfire disruption
A personal experience with evacuation risk became the starting point.
Unity simulation
Use an interactive environment to explore an emergency scenario.
Document the concept
Filed as U.S. provisional patent application 63/487,265 on February 28, 2023.
A provisional patent application does not establish that a patent was granted. The project is presented as an early research prototype.
ORIGINAL PROJECT MATERIAL
Open original project website The source, not a recreation.
The original project website is the best starting point for surviving material from this 2023 prototype. I'm keeping this portfolio overview deliberately separate from the project's original artifacts: no fabricated Unity screenshots, test results, or patent-grant claims.
