MESH AIRFLOW Visualization
An AR visualization of airflow patterns for a secondary facade system designed by the Cyprus Institute. I took the researchers' 2D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations (heat and flow maps) and UV mapped them onto a 1:1 scale 3D model of the facade, then built a shader to animate these maps with particles, inspired by how Portal 2 visualizes fluid dynamics. In the final application, users scan a QR code on the test building and see the internal 'stack effect' in action, with callouts indicating sensor locations.

BEEP Energy Sim
An AR energy-use visualization showing expected energy loads for every room in a heritage building over the year, taking into account climatic comfort. I built the visualization to explain green infrastructure investments for the adaptive reuse project. More information on the project can be found here.
Earth Vis
An experiment in converting NASA climate data into a real-time VFX graph visualization. For this project, I built a system in Unity where particles sweep over a globe, using a flowmap to determine wind speed and direction, while their trails change color based on temperature.
CryoLumens
An AR artwork representing the strength and location of Earth's magnetic fields using NASA's real-time sensor network, overlaying data-driven particle systems on an original painting using image tracking. I developed the coding and visuals for Eli Joteva, including data-reactive shaders, VFX-graph particles, real-time web monitoring, and full AR integration.
Otto Wagner Areal - Peter Kogler
An AR sculpture garden featuring Peter Kogler's unmade digital sculptures at Wiener Gesundheitsverbund, an Otto Wagner-designed 19th century medical campus now reused as a university and culture campus. I served as technical producer, taking the artist's intricate 3D meshes, creating site-specific shaders to simulate reflection and lighting, and working on-site with Kogler to place, scale, and rotate the virtual works. I added features to Wikar for real-time metadata syncing from our Clowder server, enabling the rapid placement of eight complex sculptures in a single day. Part of a promotional event.
