Neonz AR

AR NFT Viewer 
 In 2021, Sutu launched one of the first generative NFT series on the tezos blockshain, a 10,000 profile pic series called Neonz . This was deveoped by the folks at Eyejack , I got on board to help them with some cool AR rendering effects.

CSMA302 Advanced Programming

My First Course 
 In Fall 2021 I taught a class at Woodbury University in Burbank on some Advanced Programming techniques in Unity. This was in the Architecture School, aimed at non-computer Science majors who had already taken two semesters of Unity / gameplay programming. This was the first class I taught like this, and I learned a lot… I made all the curriculum from scratch, and…

Life After BOB

Real Time Unity short Film 
 What if an AI could do the job of living your life better than you? 
 Neural engineer Dr. Wong has installed an experimental AI named BOB (“Bag of Beliefs”) into the nervous system of his 10-year-old daughter Chalice. Designed to guide Chalice through the challenges of growing up in a volatile world, BOB confronts more and more of the conflicts in Chalice’s…

The Weeknd

Live interactive broadcast on TikTok 
 We went all out to stream a virtual interactive Weeknd concert to TikTok . The Wave tapped into the real time chat API to allow interactive voting moments. Unlike all the other waves though, The Weeknd is too cool to actually wear a mocap suit, so we got an actor to be him, raising some strange quesitons about the future of virtual performance and…

Growth Algorithms

Along with fractals, I also got really into growth algorithms, especially making them run in realtime.
It seems like a perfect intersection of design and art with computer science and math. 
 Here are various realtime versions of some interesting growth algorithms I have seen over the years.
