Problem

We had the unique challenge of needing to place AR dancers on top of 2 specific billboard structures in West Hollywood, CA.

Solution

We trained a deep neural network to recognize the structures and wrote software to perform 3d tracking.

Result

Users could simply point their phones at the billboards, and AR would automatically appear.

Collaborative Art

Problem

We wanted to highlight the collective power of voting, and wanted to give users the feeling of being part of something bigger.

Solution

We created an app and cloud solution which allows users to vote, then tracks the votes online, and updates the AR artwork based on the results.

Result

As users view the AR artwork, a giant disco ball displays the votes as grouped tiles of color representing the votes. As the votes change, the disco ball changes

Bonus

We created an online analytics graph that allows the client to track the distribution of votes
