Role: Design, Prototyping, Development

2016 @ Instrument with Dave Mikush, John Brown, Stephanie Lanning, Kara Place, Violet Peña, Nate Baston, and Martin Larsen

We partnered with Google to create a series of installations showcasing the power of Google Cloud in unexpected ways. They debuted at Horizon, an event for Fortune 100 executives at the Old Mint in San Francisco.

Data in motion

The unexpected creativity hidden within Google Sheets emerged through a one-of-a-kind animated data visualization within a Sheet, updating in real time. We created a framework to animate business trends utilizing the tools available within sheets, and displayed it on a 20-foot-wide LED wall in the entry hallway.

We showcased Google’s powerful image recognition technology with Emotobooth, a photo booth that uses Cloud Vision API to detect the emotions of guests via their facial expressions.
