FILTA

FILTA is a unique platform where users can create and trade unique filters that can then be traded as NFTs on the ethereum blockchain.

At Invisible Thread, I helped to realize a unique AR headdress to demonstrate the features of the platform. This project was built using Unity and features built on top of AR Core. I worked as programmer, technical artist, rigger and Substance Artist.
Portland Winter Lights Festival AR Scavenger Hunt

I worked as programmer and TA with Invisible Thread on an AR scavenger hunt for mobile using Niantic 8thwall. The experience acted as a wayfinding experience, guiding users to exhibits at the WLF, as well as allowing users to create their own constellations in the sky using 8thwall's sky segmentation and SLAM tracking.
Meta Quest Presence SDK

At Invisible Thread we developed internal experiences to test the Unity Presence Platform SDK by creating some fun puzzle box experiences. I worked as TA doing programming, as well as 3D art and puzzle design for this experience.
Meta Social AR Initiative

Working as Technical Artist with
Invisible Thread, I worked with internal teams at Meta to help test new tools and implement a series of Instagram and Messenger filters using SparkAR to create entertaining networked experiences for users on their platform.

We also helped bring to life several partner effects using IP such as Stranger Things, Marcell The Shell, and others.

I acted as technical artist as well as networking engineer on many of the filters available on the Messenger and Instagram effect tray.
Emerging Radiance AR

As technical artist I had the pleasure of working with Invisible Thread for client Meta to bring to life the stories and experiences of Japanese Americans during WWII, exploring the resiliency and hardships of their community. Built on SparkAR, this experience was built as a an Instagram filter to allow users to share the experience.
Charity Water

Working with the amazing teams at All Of It Now and Landmark, I worked as front end developer to create an iPad app as well as a WebGL based visualizer that allowed atendees of the CW ball to make donations and to see the effect of their contribution in real time as part of a larger multi-media experience.
Epson DSE Digital Café Concept

Working with the excellent folks at All Of It Now, I wrote a small lightweight framework to mock up a digital cafe concept using NodeJS Express and Vue for Epson. The concept was shown at Epson's booth at the Digital Signage Expo.
Carbon Fiber Exhibit Visuals

Lab Binaer was recruited to make a digital 'wallpaper' for an exhibit at the Staatliches Textil- und Industriemuseum Augsburg. Using the projectors on-hand and working with the architect for the exhibit, we planned, installed and animated a 10 channel 1hr abstract visual exploration spanning the exhibit.
Nebula

Working with Lab Binaer, I programmed a sensual interactive visual and musical experiment exploring depth and touch. Using a Kinect, Java and OpenGL on a stretchable canvas to create a touch surface with depth.
Ferchau 360

Working at Lab Binaer, I programmed an interactive VR experience for Ferchau Engineering using cutting edge WebGL framework THREEjs to create an app-free engaging experience.
Tag-It

For the 20th anniversary of the Hochschule Augsburg media department, with Lab Binaer we created a system for people to tag a cnc milled model of the facade of the school that we projected onto, so they could graffiti their own school. Using a mobile camera set up combined with a projection mapping setup, we managed to get a high resolution time lapse on the facade and let the kids go wild.
Innovationszentrum Oberhausen

I assisted Lab Binaer by programming a system for voice-reactive digital docents for an exhibit on innovation in a rural German town.
Der Geist

Working with Lab Binaer, I revamped and re-programmed an interactive exhibit at the Augsburger Poppenkiste. Users are able to control a digital ghost using body tracking cameras.
Soap A/B

With Lab Binaer, I designed, 3D printed and created a carousel inspired by a record created during the US occupation of West Germany by US troops. The piece is a carousel with war machinery integrated into a record player.
