SEE VIDEO

Project Description: I created several animatics of concept ideas for Microsoft’s VWorld Software. These were created for presentation to Bill Gates at the initial stages of the software development. One design allowed users to go online for help making decisions. Another allowed users to watch television together and a third allowed individuals to write their own obituary and have others vote on their reincarnation.

I worked with Linda Stone and Lili Cheng of Microsoft Research.

Technical Notes: The animatics were made using Macromedia Director.
