Recent project work - Overview
Interactive applications for individual experiences combine a variety of rich media types and visualization paradigms to provide the user with a deep understanding of a product or brand.
interactive "holographic" presentation systems
Intel boothWhile technically not holography, "holographic" panels such as the one shown here create a compelling, three-dimensional experience by combining rear-screen projection on a transparent surface with embedded touchscreen technology.
At Oracle Open World 2008, I did the application development and on-site install/support for this installation in the Intel booth that integrated three such panels, arranged in a triangle. The center of the staging was open and the three panels faced inward. The result was an environment in which a user interacting on one panel could also see beyond the panel to (the reverse of) the opposite panels and finally to the show floor beyond. This allowed participants to interact with the presentation without being closed off from the larger experience around them and gave the installation a very "open" feel.
New media events - Boston 2002-2005
The CONVERGENCE event was an opportunity for interaction between the independent film and cyberarts communities (The Boston Independent Film Festival and Boston Cyberarts Festival), featuring performers from a new wave of artists exploring the space between cinema and new media.
Digital/interactive infrastructure for events
I was the interactive and technology lead for a number of events produced by Jack Morton Worldwide.
In November 2000, I served as lead technologist for the production of a major investment bank's annual technology conference. Tech 2000 consisted of four days of presentations by representatives of major technology companies (with as many as five presentations occuring simultaneously), keynote speeches, analyst discussions, and special events.
Working as a freelancer, from my studio as well as at the Jack Morton Worldwide Boston office and on site in Baltimore, I designed, budgeted, and led the development of the networked multimedia installation for the event. This installation was designed to help guide the attendees though a complex facility and schedule, to assist with communication and to answer questions, and also to show that this bank's conferences are on the cutting edge of technology.
The hotel atrium was the central traffic area between the entrance and the presentation rooms. Plasma displays ran a Director-based application with a Tech 2000 theme animation and real-time updating information such as the current presentations, schedule
Plasma displays at the entrance to each presentation room showed the name of the current presenter and the name of the presenter to follow. All information was automatically updated from the backend database.
