The ChronoScope

The ChronoScope is an installation for which I designed and programmed interactive 3D component. The installation was on view from December 9 through March 26 2005 at AXA Gallery as part of the exhibition entitled At The Crossroads of Desire: A Times Square Centennial, curated by Max Page.

The ChronoScope received Honorable Mention from I.D. Magazine Annual Design Review 2005 in interactive category:

The project was lead by Jake Barton, the principal of Local Projects, NYC's award winning design studio. I was asked to design a 3D environment of Times Square in which pictures from various times would float as a reference point of where they were taken in reality. I also programmed the interaction which is driven by a touch screen allowing the viewer to choose the historical pictures in the virtual Times Square and travel through the 3D environment to view them. The project was created using mainly Anark Studio, great software for interactive 3D multimedia applications.

The movie version of the project played on the Jumbotron during the New Year's Eve celebration in Times Square.
