Portfolio

- seen here -

Polygon - "With the popularity of Guitar Hero games waning, Dilallo decided to flip the game from its standard third-person view of a musician playing, to a first-person view of a live rock concert, as seen by the lead guitarist / vocalist. His demo — which he called "Guitar Hero Live" — included a video live audience."

What Can I Do For You?

I'm here to lead & or support your teams and help maintain focus and drive to bring the highest quality, immersive & interative cinematic experiences to your consumers globally.

Interactive Virtual Reality Films

From 360 degree videos to full immersive interactive VR experiences specializing in FACECAP, MOCAP & motion controller ui design. Worked with both volumetric & Stereoscopic captures also am well versed in blending/transitioning reaction based AI driven video sequences and editing techniques. Basically I make films where the user is no longer a spectator but a participant.

Augmented Reality Dev

Specializing in Hologram development with stereoscopic and volumetrically captured content. Directed the development on over 10 celebrity brand holograms being consumed on mulitple devices, from Mobile phones, AR glasses, Ipads, AR displays, Hologram pyrymids and many more devices to come.

Game Design

With over 10 years experience in the game industry & multiple triple A titles under my belt. I bring a ton of knowledge and experience to the game dev teams I love to join. I check my ego at the door it's all about the project and its commercial success! I live to create the best game experiences for the consumer while striving to uphold at all cost the vison of my producers, creative leads and executive staff. I've worked in every discpline of the game industry from QA to Creative Director I love every aspect of Game Development. From long days of writing powerful optimized code to long nights of examining UI/UX design theories.

AI & Tech development

focused on several areas of AI development Customizing the client experiencesoffering highly customized recommendations. Recommendation engines boost revenue and will continue to play a pivotal role in simplifying customer's decisions. Increasing client engagement By improving customized communication, customers are more likely to be far more engaged with your company. While AI and data analytics can appear daunting, the strategic benefits of investing in AI are a no-brainer for companies looking to scale fast.

UI/UX Design

I believe emerging new technolgies especailly those that utilize HMD's and eyeware must pay very close attention to UI/UX design. UI design & UX design are perhaps the most crucial areas of development that need extremly detailed polish. Layering graphics inside the real world and or in a virtual world is a delicate art. Crucial to the success of HMD/Glasses powered applications UI/UX has been a huge focus of mine for many years now. I've been designing & developing UI for VR & AR applications for several years learning new and powerful ways to better the users experience and increase playability with familarity to my designs by me leveraging common design patterns & implementations.

Web Design WebVR

With a passion for web development and nearly 100 websites designed under my portfolio I've been focusing on VR/AR websites with WebVR integrations. The web is catching back up to applications. VR has reinforced the need for the WEB to become more powerful and handle more computing the downloading times and updating of apllications is getting old and bothersome the more websites go Mobile and the applications are able to be intgrated directly within the website is here. I'm on the frontlines using Game engines to help design Web applications that are built directly into WebVR's frame work and will need no installation for its users. I'm focused on faster access to content with-out blockers or barriers to search and consume content immediately.

Consultancy

Consulted several new VR & AR start-ups entering different competitive spaces with very different business models. Also consulted & led dev teams that built POCs for many of the world's top brands, talent and companies looking to capitalize on marketing with VR/AR experiences & it's technology. I have knowledge on all the leading developers in most every verticle and have deployed multiple revenue barring business stratigies and monetization methods that produced an ROI in an extremely early adoption period.
