PROJECTS
Siemens - MindSphere.io 24/7
Live Demo
http://bit.ly/2WZhYp1
2018
A 24/7 live stream of a miniaturized IoT connected city where a full day of
activity could be observed every four minutes. One of the most
challenging problems to solve for was synchronizing PubNub data, which
arrives instantaneously, with a video feed which was rendered with varying
latency as a result of the user's location and connectivity. Millisecond
accuracy was necessary because the accelerated time in the model would
make any data that was of out of sync visually noticeable. The issue was
solved by encoding timestamps in the video feed and aligning timestamps
from the IoT sensors with the encoded timestamps.
Volkswagen/Discovery Channel
- Land of Sharks
http://bit.ly/2tlxiP8
2017
An online experience for Discovery Channel's Shark Week that allows users
to explore their neighborhood alongside ancient sharks through an
"underwater" Google Street View experience. This was achieved using the
Google Street View Javascript API Service and three.js.
