Iterative usability testing, Contributing to motion tracking samples for dance mode

Most of my work on this game involved usability testing for the dance mode, as well as being one of the many contributors to reference material to help refine the dance motion tracking. Don’t knock dancing with Lando Calrissian or Darth Vader until you’ve tried it.

"The allegedly-mortifying Cloud City dancing mode actually is the best part of the game. And it's fun! Those who can't smile at the opportunity to dance along with a virtual Han Solo or Boba Fett to some pop songs that have been re-written with Star Wars-themed lyrics are too miserable to take seriously."
