About

Technical Producer, Software Developer.
Developed and coordinated the interactive technologies with the museum and fabricators. Coordinated historical content. Installed system: two seamlessly knit 1080p projections and IR based multi-touch tracking camera system.
The flag which inspired the United States' National Anthem hung for many years in the lobby of the American History Museum. At over 30 x 30 feet, the museum decided to give it a more secure home for the future, and developed a special exhibit where the flag now lays in a preservation chamber behind glass. The fifteen foot long interactive table gives visitors a way to experience the flag at true scale as its digital projection slowly floats through the table's window. Layered on top of the flag are special "hot spots," which visitors can touch to learn more about the flag's history and preservation.
