Fireflies is a game using anaglyph red/blue 3D. Joannie Wu and I designed and developed the game over the last two months for Kokoromi’s Gamma3D exhibition, this upcoming Wednesday, Nov 19th. If you’re going to be in Montreal for the MIGS video game creators conference, be sure to check out Gamma3D and play Fireflies!

After the exhibition, you can download and play Fireflies yourself. Fireflies runs on Mac OSX, and we recommend an Xbox 360 controller for the best gameplay. You’ll need anaglyph glasses, which you can get for free online.

A prototype interface for a touch-screen ’surface’ application for sampling a video portfolio I created for Rehab Studio in February. This interface would be displayed on a 60″ LCD touch screen embedded into a table surface.

Evolution of the shapes on the surface show and hide new clips available to watch. The clips available may change throughout the course of the day.

Watch it in HD.

The graphic was created using a force-directed graph using a particle system. Countries try to locate themselves near where they are geographically located as well as close to geographically neighboring countries. The circles do not overlap. Flash is a bit too slow to be interactive, so there is a pre-render on our side to determine how each year’s layout will appear.

A visualization of all new polls for the presidential race shows poll’s margin of error and statistically significant leads. This graphic uses a special image-baking technique to be iPhone friendly!

Blame my deep-rooted love of object and form for my self-prescribed side project for the last few weeks: cataloging and documenting the Olympic Torches from Berlin to Beijing. Extra thanks for NYT reporter Phil Patton for the narration.

So for as long as they’ve been around, I’ve been a bit fan of Walk Score. It’s usually been just a toy, however as I get ready to move to San Francisco, I’ve been using it to compare against craigslist apartment rentals to the point where I think I’m getting RSI.

So it made sense to clear things up and take a look at the big picture

I’m toiling around with maps a bit lately. I just thought this was a really nice image, the world as seen only by it’s rivers.
