I Am Sensor – Twitch (tilt switch) code and circuit

Playing around with the Sketch to VR plugin
A rough test page to see what can be done with a panoramic photo of the Tate Modern and the Sketch to VR plugin, which exports Sketch files to WebVR.
Avatar test
A test video of an avatar created using the CrazyTalk app, originally intended for the pitch video for the Accomplice game. The face was ‘mirrored’ (the left side repeated for each side of the face) to add to the unreality of the talking head.
