Working closely with the creative team at Publicis Chemistry, I developed an interactive display installation to mark the launch of the UK's first 4G mobile operator, EE. Using Kinect sensors, Cinder C++ and various open source libraries such as Box2d and OpenCV, The installation reacts to the movement of people around it, and responds to individual predefined gestures.

Work involved developing custom animation libraries for OpenGL, reactive real time particle systems, developing custom SVG parsers to display particle based artwork and font animations, processing the motion data from the Kinect sensor to power various user interactions, and ensuring everything is responsive, stable, reliable, and adheres to the overarching brand guidelines.

I created an installation for Secret Cinema for their BNV / Prometheus show. My brief was to create an emotional programming section for invoestors in the eighth generation Weyland type android, David (as portrayed by Michael Fassbender).

As a response to the brief I created a number of projectable interactives and sculptural artworks, based on the pre-press and viral web promotion of the film, making sure not to create something so obvious as to give away the surprise which is so central to the Secret Cinema brand.

In addition to a number of sculptural works, I created a bleeding edge back-projected interactive using the Kinect sensor, Processing, Java, NITE and OpenNI to bring to life David's threat recognition software. Viewers were encouraged to wave and smile at David's AI, but not to get too close (thereby triggering a threat alert).

I managed a team of six actors, techinicians and volunteers to man the installation for every show, and was continually looking for ways to improve the installation and enhance the viewer experience.
