Adapting creativity for XR

7 Apr 2020

—

20min.

From art school to AR — learn how my team creates AI experiences for a 290° immersive room and how fluid intelligence, a generalist mindset, and an unconventional career path prepared me for applying creativity to the emerging world of MR/XR.

My team creates experiences that transform our clients’ ideas of AI at the Watson Experience Center. These centers are permanently branded experiences, with locations in New York City, San Francisco, and Cambridge. The centers are invitation-only, and their primary audience is potential customers of IBM Watson. The collaborative meeting space also serves as an educational hub for researchers, students, and media.

My group has created a form of spatial exploration that allows humans to boost their abilities to comprehend data at scale and see how AI works. Blending storytelling with design, data, and expert-guided interaction, we can make clear to clients and the world the value of AI and both its practical applications and potential for society.

See the creative process behind the work and how I leverage my background in art, experimental film making, branding, and creative direction to vanguard new spatial experiences. Learn how I apply artistic practices like abstraction, sketching, iteration, visual hierarchy, and storytelling to designing for 93.3 million pixels. As unapproachable and abstract, the idea of creating for XR is — learn how you can use the most basic of tools to concept spatial applications and begin iterating and experimenting.
