VIIRS View Product Design
You’ve got the whole world in your hands with the VIIRS View Spinning Marble. VIIRS View wraps gorgeous, high-definition satellite imagery of the Earth around a spinning globe. Swoosh over storm patterns emerging above Antarctica. in on the fishing fleet lined up along international boundaries off the coast of Japan. Three data sets - visible light, chlorophyll concentration, low-light imagery - provide a glimpse into the type of data meteorologists use every day to track the weather and monitor the global environment. Toggle between each VIIRS View to create an endless variety of spinning marbles.

Next Generation Jammer Virtual Manufacturing
The challenge was daunting: engineers quickly needed a way to show how a bunch of parts fit together in order to determine the best way to assemble them. In response, we transformed a 2D top-level assembly process flow diagram into a true-to-size, augmented reality 3D experience. Working closely with integration engineers, the human factor simulation team, and software developers, the final result was eye-catching. Engineers could slip on a HoloLens headset and immerse themselves in a 3D animation of the entire assembly process. Controlled by voice commands, it effectively demonstrated key structural design assembly features to the manufacturing team and identified cost-saving corrective actions.

Rotating Synthetic Aperture Telescope 3D UX Design
Challenge: demonstrate the massive scale of a future telescope concept, experience how it deploys, and design a mechanical concept to shield the optics from the sun.
Solution: slip on an AR headset and take a walk around the tennis court-size spacecraft. Then, use voice commands to control its deployment. The concept was simple, but NASA needed to experience how a telescope with an aperture this large could fit inside a launch vehicle. We built a digital model of the telescope and visualized a mechanical method to shield the optics from the sun.

Space Based Infrared 3D UX Design
When a concept for the sensor was mature, engineers needed to share its compact design in a briefing with the US Space Force. But, a physical mockup was expensive to fabricate, time consuming, and delicate to transport. Augmented reality was the right solution. We converted the CAD source data, created a cross-section of the geometry, and animated the optics. With an iPad or HoloLens, the engineers could tap-to-place their design in the middle of a conference table to quickly influence their frontline business.
