In 2019, I was fortunate to receive development funding from Magic Leap to discover how my concept Little Wonder might flourish in the “Magicverse”. My amazing team pushed the boundaries of the hardware and created original art, animation, music, and some sick dev trickery to create a 5 minute piece in 15 weeks. We worked closely with Magic Leap developers and stakeholders to test the SDK, specifically: user head/eye tracking, hand tracking/gesture recognition, frustum location, graphic limitations, and occlusion solutions. We focused on how the narrative elements and the audience could play together and packed in allot meatballs in the demo, including- particle spatial design, positional audio, IK system, string + balloon physics, microphone input, and surface recognition. The piece was later reconfigured to serve as Magic Leap’s Holiday card.

We also wrote the full experience, would love to show you some time.
