Projects that explain how things work through interactively engaging people.
I was involved first as an intern to aid in the prototyping and later as a contractor to produce a documentary video of the installation. This immersive experience was so rich that when I brought my friends who were sight-impaired to the exhibit, they couldn’t believe it. The haptic feedback and the spatial sound were very compelling.
The physics simulation was built to teach principles of construction. I coded the bricks and placed them in the simulation to model existing arches. I really liked that the physical properties alone–friction, mass, and gravity–held together the structure.
I used 360 degree panoramas and walk-arounds with full-screen images to immerse the user in the content. Using existing slides of NOVA’s trip, I created an innovative way to present the multimedia in this interactive. The user can follow menus, maps, or direct their journey through first-person navigation. My role was the ActionScript coding and architecting of the Flash project.
