Independent Projects
Below are some examples of projects I have built. Keep in mind many of the image were captured during development, so they are not the final product.
Augo
Augo is a mobile app that transforms regular TV into an fun and interactive experience. When prompted, a viewer can point their mobile device at the TV and Augo will recognize what they are watching. The app will then download a custom interactive augmented reality experience to let them play along with the action. Viewers can vote and compete against each other in real time. With Augo I had a chance to work along side Fox TV, Bloomberg Entertainment, and Disney to bring this technology to life.

Movie Augmented Reality Kit
MARK is an app that transforms any mobile device user into a hollywood film maker. Using augmented reality technology, MARK makes it easy to add special effects, props and costumes to any production. Simply launch the app and select surfaces on which to attach digital objects. MARK takes care of the rest, and seamlessly blends these virtual objects into the scene in real time. The project was initially created as a Kickstarter campaign, but unfortunately we did not get a chance to complete the launch.

Treasure Hunt
Treasure Hunt is a mobile app that transforms the physical world into an augmented reality scavenger hunt. To play, users locate the special treasure hunt posters scatted throughout their city. When they aim their phone at the poster it springs to life and creates an AR challenge. If the user completes the challenge, the app will unlock a treasure map that leads them to a nearby retailer where they can claim a prize. We launched a pilot of Treasure Hunt in collaboration with Barnes and Noble and Georgia Tech. In less than 2 weeks it saw over 200 registered users and 500+ games played.

Vignettes
This was a project created for the NBC Universal Hackathon in Orlando FL. Vignettes are interactive AR experiences scattered around a park to enhance theming. These experiences are triggered using a location technology known as iBeacons. The app listens for signals from these beacons, and launches an AR experience that correspond to your location. Imagine if people in Diagon Alley could see Harry Potter and his friends zoom around the sky and play Quiddach. Or people visiting Islands of Adventure could watch Spiderman face-off with Doctor Octupus in the streets. Because these shows are all digital, they can be large scale, and dynamic and interactive. The entire functioning app was built in under 24 hours.
