Role: Lead Developer
This Target micro-site compiles user submissions into a montage of Facebook profile images. The user can answer a question and upload images from their library. To accommodate high traffic and quick load times, the Rails server sends numerous small profile image colleges one after anouther. I use flash to cut up bitmap data from the loaded images and combine JSON content to create unque tile objects which then have maximum control and can display before all have loaded. To see the montage in order as it loads you can add "?random=false" to the url.

Role: Lead Developer
Kinect Adventures is the launch title that accompanies the new motion sensing camera and microphone device from Xbox. In this site, I created the framework and the main interface where the user can use a typical navigation or click the helicopter and fly around the map looking for easter eggs and surprises. The site contain a video player, image slide show, and a picture editor that connects directly to Facebook. After connecting, it loops through your album images, lets the you choose one, then adds a custom set of stickers and appends the image all through the Silverlight experience. The user is then offered to post the image to their Facebook wall. This is a Silverlight 4 site localized in 30 languages and took approximately 8 weeks of development.

The Your Shape Xbox game site took Facebook user's activity and translated it into estimated calories burned. My portion as collaborative engineer was the graph from the image above and all the site animation. I took the Facebook activity data passed from the data model to populated the graph after developing the user interface. I created some animations using After Effects and other using C# composite rendering events. It was a 4 week long project.

Role: Developer

As one of Xbox’s flagship franchises this was an ambitious Silverlight project which contained a live video feed displaying a two story robot that was essentially controlled by site's user. There was a predefined set of 120,000 points in 3D space that would correlate to a 2 dimensional monument comprised of light points that would create a silhouette of the game characters. The site enabled the user to log into Facebook and use their profile to choose a point of light that would be dedicated to them. The user’s point would be put into a queue and they could watch the point be created in real time. My contribution included a video player, character sections, and animations. We received a the FWA for this site October 11, 2010.

Target 2 Day Sale Augmented Reality Site

VIEW VIDEO SYNOPSIS
This site was a direct link from Target.com’s home page. My development portion was the site’s main interactivity using a 3D spinning gift carousel and augmented reality. After the intro, the user could spin the gift wheel. Then using their webcam, they would hold up Target’s Weekly Ad with the marker and have the ability to lift the gift from the wheel and it would appear to move around through the camera display. I modeled and textured the 3D gifts using Maya and Roadkill before putting the Collada files in Flash with Papervision.
