HOST VR
HOST is a virtual reality, single-player, puzzle adventure experience inside of an alien planet. You must navigate its breathing chambers and pulsing passageways to discover the secret at the core. Check out the Steam page.
Samsung 5G AR
Garrett led the team at HYPNO to design an innovative augmented reality installation at Samsung 837's flagship store to demonstrate the capabilities of 5G technology. The installation featured a city sculpture and 3D scenes that seamlessly come to life when a phone is pointed at the sculpture.
Samsung Freeform
For the launch of the Galaxy Note9, HYPNO created an immersive projection mapped room giving you the power to draw everywhere using the new S Pen. Each digital brush was connected to a sound, allowing you to make a soundscape by layering sonic textures.
Facevalue Art Basel
HYPNO and Sotheby’s hosted the most popular party during Art Basel Miami Beach. Garrett led the team to transform the raw, industrial space below the spendy 1 Hotel into a massive 360° projection selfie party where guests could shoot photos and immerse themselves in... themselves.
The EYE
Garrett is the inventor of the EYE– an innovative way to capture social content in the wild with a mobile, squishy, durable, splash proof, well lit party camera that never touches the ground. Once you've captured your video, live effects and music are seamlessly edited in for you to share all over the internet.
Evolving Runway
As each piece in the collection walked the runway, a new element of a creature emerged and evolved. Sensors were installed underneath the stage to measure the pace of the models. This allowed us to match the speed of the evolution to the speed of the models. We also measured the BPMs from the live DJ, and created a pulsing/breathing effect for the creature.
Samsung Galaxy Orbit
For Samsung at CES 2019, HYPNO created a roller coaster for the Galaxy S10. The camera would orbit around you capturing a full 360º music video while lights and music got everyone dancing.
SSION at MoMA PS1
Stage design for SSION with Cody Critcheloe, Drew Bolton and Daniel Goggin at MoMA PS1. The stage featured a sliding door that was projection mapped to move with the animations being displayed. 3 projectors hit the backdrop while 4 other projectors were pointed from the ceiling as stage lighting.
Kauffman Center Grand Opening
For the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts grand opening event, we collaborated with local artists to create a once in a lifetime dinner experience for the organization's top sponsors and supporters. The visuals were projected across 3 walls and onto the roof of the Kauffman Center, providing an immersive visual and auditory experience.
The New Real Website
On the roof of our building is a real website–routed out from a ShopBot, with a camera on each page, streaming live 24/7. This was an effort to simulate the New Real and the fusion / confusion of the physical and digital worlds. The website design / UI pokes at common internet tropes such as drop shadows becoming real shadows, buttons as physical buttons, text boxes are literally inset boxes. Every time you return to the site, you'll have a completely different experience–it could be night, raining, snowing, sleeting or if you're lucky, you can catch a romantic sunset.
