In my role as a Creative Technologist at We Are Social, I was responsible for the creative direction of the installation, technical specifications, and implementation of a notable project for Starbucks. This assignment presented a remarkable chance to blend a variety of technologies in a cohesive and innovative manner.
At the heart of this project was the creation of a web interface for the more corporate-oriented website, Starbucks - Here You Belong, crafted using React. A unique feature of this site was the integration of an advanced Snapchat filter, rendered on a web canvas via Snapchat's new web API. The backend, powered by Firebase, not only handled functions but also maintained a database for storing images uploaded from the web frontend. Additionally, a Unity application was employed to manage a real-time flipping board display, adding a dynamic visual element to the project. This multifaceted endeavor provided an opportunity to delve into and utilize a broad range of technological solutions.
I also spearheaded the programming for two Instagram filters: one featuring AR objects in space, and the other utilizing background segmentation technology.
