""Spectrum" Immersive"

Spectrum Immersive an Unreal Engine 5 based interactive real time Artwork which utilises Hokeyo Laser range finders and Unreal Engines NDisplay Cluster networking.

The Spectrums artwork was a quick turn around project for the Halcyon "In Plain Sight" Exhibition on display at London Soho open to the public.
I was tasked with Implementing Cluster based networking between the instances on each wall to simulate a networked event when certain actions are triggered. On-Site adjustments and tweaks to material shaders and backend to ensure functionality and the artist approved visual look.

Currently being displayed at the Halcyon Gallery Flagship location during the "In Plain Sight" exhibition in Mayfair London as the main statement piece.

"Snow White & 7 Dwarfs Immersive"

Snow White & 7 Dwarfs Immersive (SW7D) is an upscaled and more ambitious project of its predecessor which was displayed on a 33" Windows platform single network screens. The immersive version built souly in Unity on top of the outdated Unity 5x engine version and upgraded to Unity 2022 to utilise all the new possible features of the Universal Render pipeline.

SW7D uses real time gesture recognition tracking through Kinect azures placed around the immersive space and gestures are then converted and play certain gestures depending on whether you are facing that specific character or not. The late feature addition also includes a hokuyo laser which detect touch points and sent via UDP messages into Unity which then translated into world space to accurately mimic a touch based on which area of the immersive space you are touching.
The Unity output was designed in a modular way to fit any immersive space if needed and adjusted on site. The video output that display the characters uses a spout sender from each character camera and then sent over to Light Act which then stiches the content of the characters together and displays them to video projector outputs shown below.

"Unseen"

The main developer behind the development and conversion of "Unseen" through the concept phase till end of development cycle. Unseen is an interactive portrait of undiscovered butterflies that have never been witnessed or documented by humans. Using cutting-edge AI-generation techniques to train and create 13,500+ Butterflies on sample data provided by natural history museums across the world. Currently on show at the Halcyon Gallery located in New Bond Street, London.

•Applied AI and UE4 (Blueprints) to create real-time collages with 13,500 butterflies using advanced colour theory techniques and python backend which is responsible for displaying triadic colour palletes and colour matching system in place.

"The work has attracted experts from natural history museums world-wide" - Nvidia .

"Metamorphosis Unseen"(Nvidia Jetson TX2)

The main developer behind the development and conversion of "Unseen" through the concept phase till end of development cycle. Metamorphosis Unseen is practically using the same backend system as the larger Unseen format however displaying on the Nvidia Jetson TX2 platform with some adjustments to ensure stable performance on the weaker platform.

• The use of Unreals' Vulkan rendering pipeline to ensure more control over GPU and lower level CPU usage for the Jetson TX2.

• Ensured early R&D for the Jetson TX2 platform to assess whether or not haivng the same backend and base system would be able to withstand a stable framerate

"Essence Of Time"

Essence of time was an older artwork in which needed additional features implemented for the up-coming ambitious "feeding Conciousness" exhibition

Work consisted of converting and combining 3 different maps into a single persistant level which would hold references to all exisitng maps and the ability to swipe through onto the next scene

"Limitless TOB"

A live data visualisation of the ever-changing financial landscape inspired by the story and form of the tower of babel.
•Spent time during early project life cycle on R&D with UE5 niagara system to build the project base from scratch.
•Early project concepts included facades from around the world to form the tower of babel, Heavily pushed and R&D AI image generation techniques such as Stable Diffusion and Mid-journey.
•Lead development and created an efficient pipeline to generate over 30,000 procedurally AI generated facades from around the world creating breathtaking facades.
•All 30,000 images had to be passed through multiple image processing librarys such as OpenCV/Scikit/Scipy/Pillow/Numpy/SimpleCV to further handcraft specific sets of facades to create early initial prototypes of "Limitless"

"Metamorphosis Unicus"

•Collaborated with handful of local primary schools to engage with young students to create digital butterfly artworks.
•Each students' drawings were passed through scans and then through multiple python scripts and OpenCV vision librarys to extract raw drawings as ready to be used textures.
•Lead Development for a WebGL/Mobile interactive artwork using Unity for the collaborative Metamorphosis Unicus project.
•The Unity project consisted of a self built AI waypoint navigation system for the butterfly skeleton mesh to manivor around and fly from differnt positions depending on which platform the WebGL artwork is being displayed on. This ensures that no matter the screen size the butterflies that fly around will always stay relatively on screen however each will have different flight patterns.
•use of firebase to act as the WebGL backend so depending on the URL last number identifer, that will then download and paint the butterfly texture in the WebGL application using the URL identifer to represent the specific texture ID. This is to allow us to use 1 Unity WebGL application for the whole dataset of unique texture identifiers.
