Description
Director of Technology - House of Card's Music video, interactive data viewer, and source code.

With Director James Frost and a bunch of other great people, lasers and sensors were used to create a 3D data "music video" for the band Radiohead.
The project was launched as an Open Source project on Google Code.
An interactive online viewer (created along with Aaron Meyers) allows for 3D investigation of the data online.
