MOVEMENT DATA Sync is a tool that allows visualizations of x, y and z points in space that represent body parts or joints, or links between these, in real-time. This movement data allows designers and artists to work with movement and build interactions upon the possible data readings. I’ve had the opportunity to explore Sync…

PRODUCTION MEDIA Personal projects exploring tactility and new methods of digital production like laser-cutting on wood, paper and acrylic, 3D printing, etc.

MOTION CAPTURE I like exploring different motion capture techniques and possibilities, thinking of ways of adapting these as input for interactive installations. Motion capture using an Optitrack rig + Motive software in addition to iClone running in Unreal Engine. Part of the process for a Location Based Virtual Reality experience developed by Logic Interactive: Various…
