This year went by fast. It felt like the year ended in the blink of an eye, but just like last year, I want to try looking back on the year.
Last year’s reflection is here:

VR Development
A major event this year was starting VR development at work.
VR isn’t that rare in the world anymore, but it was the first attempt at our company, so I heard various things (expectations, anxieties) from those around me, but I was able to achieve certain results.
How far this can be expanded in the future is still a challenge, so I will continue to work hard next year.
AR Development
This year, I also started AR development with UE4 and ARKit. This is still at the stage of tracing the basics of developing with ARKit in UE4, but I’m satisfied because I was able to do everything I wanted to do.
I’d like to think about how to incorporate it into work from next year onwards.
I also want to try not just mobile devices but also HoloLens and Magic Leap.
Also, I want to do something in personal development.
UE4 Marketplace
As for private activities, listing on the Marketplace was a big event.
At the beginning of the year, I wondered if I could list things myself, started researching, and somehow ended up releasing four code plugins.
I put my soul into making all of them, so I’d be happy if many people could use them.
Also, some projects are open source, so interacting with others on GitHub was fun. Since it’s in English, conversations wouldn’t work without the help of Google Translate, but thanks to that, I feel like my ability to generate Japanese that’s easy to translate has improved!
The ratings on the Marketplace are also very encouraging, so I’m grateful.
A point of reflection is that I got carried away and released four plugins, and maintenance hasn’t kept up.
There are ideas I want to implement for each plugin but haven’t been able to, so I want to work on those next year.
Presentations
This year, my initial goal was to give presentations somewhere twice, but in the end, it was only once.
But I’m grateful just for getting such an opportunity, and I think I grew a little, so I’d like to continue doing it if I have the chance in the future.
For that, I need to keep gathering material regularly.
Summary
For me, it was a very rich year compared to previous years.
I want to do even more various things next year than this year, so I’ll do my best!
