![]() When I was young, I built an AM radio kit that used a cap, a tunable slug inductor, and a germanium detector diode, with a transistor to drive headphones. I never got a ham license, but it sparked (no pun intended) my interest in electricity, science, and electronics, and I do belong to the American Radio Relay League (ARRL). SHANNON: How did you become interested in audio electronics?ĬHUCK: When I was a kid, I bought a book about the story of a boy who became interested in ham radio and got his license, built his own radio transmitter and receiver, and had all kinds of interesting adventures on the air. My dad was very supportive of my interest in science and technology. We all eventually retired from the same Bendix Red Bank division in New Jersey. My Dad and two uncles were tool and die makers, and my grandfather was an engineer. I graduated from Newark College of Engineering-now New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT)-with a BS in Electrical Engineering and took some grad courses at Fairleigh-Dickinson. I took college prep courses at Middletown High School, and I was fortunate that one of the high school guidance counselors found me a college we could afford. Pixelpusher built a CMS that allowed admins to schedule and manage drops (locations, amount of shoes, and type of shoes), process payments, manage inventory, and unlock lockers.CHUCK HANSEN: I have always lived in Monmouth County, NJ. The app ensured that everybody had equal access to the product and prevented potential chaos by allowing access to the purchased product through internet-controlled lockers. To achieve this, Jam3 proposed building onto the Complex app to allow it to use augmented reality, Bluetooth beacons, and internet-connected lockers to level the playing field. Adidas wanted to explore different ways to use technology to give everyone attending the conference an equal opportunity to score the latest sneakers. Usually, at conventions large scale resellers end up snatching most of the product as soon as it drops, leaving collectors empty-handed. AR and WebGL were also used to create the 3D scenes and buildings for users to explore and to visualize the extent of the structural damage to the Verizon headquarters.įor sneaker collectors and aficionados, ComplexCon is the biggest event of the year. ![]() For the first time ever, we used Twilio-driven SMS technology to create an interactive narrative, making careful tweaks throughout production to ensure content was delivered at the right time and in the right order to remain historically accurate. It’s a nod to the basic tech of 2001, while featuring the cutting-edge mobile experiences of today-a story about the past, with a modern twist.īecause this had never been done before, we had to problem solve how we could simultaneously send out mass amounts of text messages with high volume content. Eleven personal stories are told through MMS native content such as immersive phone calls that reenact historical moments, 360º interactive maps of downtown Manhattan, and AR “before-and-after” filters. We invited users to step into the timeline of 9/12, in a one-day, real-time immersive documentary that puts you in the shoes of the Verizon employees who sprang into action on September 12th. Every text documenting a moment, an action or a story delivered at the time they actually happened 20 years ago on September 12th. With over 30 Verizon employees from 2001 interviewed, a timeline was established. The 1:1 nature of a text gave us a meaningful platform to share the emotional stories that emerged in the days after. In 2001 it was the most innovative way to communicate, and now in 2020, it’s the most personal. Winner of multiple awards including The One Show Gold Pencil and Clio GoldĪ story that’s never been told, in a format that’s never been used before: text messages.
