How can characters and art be further brought to life? How can we “push the pose”?

It’s one thing to express a character in a 2D medium such as in paintings or video. However, something amazing happens when you can now be in the same room as a character. When, the character is aware of the viewer and both can interact with each other.

With both augmented and virtual reality technologies, we have unprecedented mediums before us that give new opportunities for artistic expression. You can start with just an idea and then craft that into something that is real and tangible.

To make these ideas into a reality is the culmination of a wide range of skill sets: 3D art, animation, audio production, game design, and software engineering. The ultimate gratification is when these skills all come together and the end result puts a smile on someone’s face.

I look forward to continuing this artistic journey, exploring new technology mediums, and bringing ideas to life.
