Gates Foundation:
Global Challenges

Multi-user, puck-based experience exploring the mission of the Gates Foundation.

Bluecadet worked with Pacific Studios on a large overhaul of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Visitor Center in 2017. This experience answers one of the questions the foundation receives the most: "What is it you actually do?". Through the lens of its six biggest areas of focus, visitors explore topics like poverty, sanitation and malaria and how they relate to each other.

As a technical lead on this program, I designed the app architecture for all of its complex states, developed the socket communication across PCs, created a Cinder block to integrate with Ideum's puck SDK and support multi-touch gestures with the scene graph I developed for Bluecadet.
