Spot Metrix was a UX rapid prototyping lab that prototyped natural interfaces in mobile new media applications. We produced SpinCam, an iPhone app that facilitates sharing of immersive 360 degree immersive experiences within a community of over 1/2 million users. Spot Metrix also produced augmented reality solutions mobile devices and the 3DAR augmented.

Co-Inventor of machine vision iPhone app for tuning a bicycle derailleur. Responsible for software/UX architecture and development of specialized 3D photogrammetric solvers as well as establishing agile development practices for the software team.

Added modeling and rendering features and optimization to the popular Zaxwerks animation products.

Immersive Media produced a 360 video camera with content geo referenced by an inertial navigation system. We also captured the initial footage for Google StreetView. I solved the geometry problems involved in tracking every pixel back to 3D geospace, including lens modeling and calibration hardware and software, as well as calibration based stitching. I.

Image Savant was a visual effect design house run by the late Richard "Doc" Baily. I supplied the mathematics, software and much of the custom production pipelines that Image Savant used to create leading edge visual effects for movies such as Superman Returns (2006), Solaris (2002), The Cell (2000), Fight Club (1999), Blade (1998), The Game (1997) as well.

At FEM Engineering I managed a hydroforming simulation joint research project with the prototyping department of a major auto manufacturer. I also developed simulation and visualization software for the project.

San Francisco

Developed realtime 3D rendering algorithms for streaming advertising content to non GPU accelerated hardware (old PC's). I developed the geometry compression and 3D rendering components.

At Wavefront I many roles including helping with the real time 3D graphics interface that all products were based on. I also developed CAD and image translators and managed Wavefront's interchange formats. I developed modeling solutions including 3D boolean operations, surface modeling, polygonal decimation, and direct manipulation techniques. As a.

AIR was a co-housed software spinoff of pioneering visual effects house Robert Abel and Associates, and produced one of the first commercially available computer graphics systems. Early sales of CG software was often to aerospace and other industries already using computer aided design systems. I developed data translators from these systems so existing 3D.
