Producer | Gen City Labs (formerly Helios Interactive)
I manage teams (including creative, development, QA, and Operations) and clients from scoping to deployment. Using 360 VR technology, my teams create immersive and visually stunning 360 models, interactivity, animation, and video to tell engaging brand messaging stories: moving viewers through the digital world of a financial transaction; showcasing services; providing tours of multiple US and India offices and teams, rental event spaces, and franchise restaurants; and presenting a hidden object game to allow viewers to organically discover marketing messages. The team used 3D modeling software Modo & Maya, and assembled it all in Unity3D to create and animate both the “real” and digital worlds of these imaginative experiences. Demo video
Producer | Gen City Labs (formerly Helios Interactive)
Using HoloLens augmented reality technology, me and my team (including creative, development, QA, and Operations) produced a fun and engaging look at manufacturing processes for guests at the huge IMTS show using stunning animations accompanied by background music and funny, conversational voice over.
Producer | Helios Interactive
The client wanted a fun way to engage guests and allow them to create a highly personalized and shareable takeaway. Using a custom built local Neural Network, Helios created a self-guided app that allowed guests to snap photos of themselves, choose a style and then watch as their portraits were transformed into works of art.
The technique, which is called Neural Style Transfer, uses deep learning (a form of Artificial Intelligence) to intelligently create a unique image combining the ‘content’ image (i.e., guest’s photo) with a ‘style’ image (i.e., predetermined artistic image). Guests could receive a digital version via email which could be instantly shared to social media. Demo video
