📈 For the upcoming year, my allegiance will now be with the Steelers, as here in 2025 I'm building a team of smart creatives in Pittsburgh to lead innovation for SR Measure and Stockpile Reports.

🎨 Generative AI was used as effective entertainment. During one of the intermissions, random fans in the crowd were turned into bobblehead characters. It was fun and well done!

Let’s Go Pens! 🐧

🚀 That puck moves fast! With shots traveling 25-45 m/s, I wonder what an augmented reality UI could look like that leverages event cameras (cameras that offer high-speed, asynchronous, per-pixel updates for intensity changes). Though, the camera might track the puck faster than our eyes can keep up!

🔬 I’ve used hillshade before to emphasize elevation changes in terrain, and so I could mentally visualize what it would look like to turn it into an animation. However, nothing beats actually doing the experiment and seeing the results.

💡 Sometimes I get a random idea that I just have to try, either because I think it sounds fun, because I think it could help our business, or because I think I might learn something new (or more typically it’s all three!).

That's an awesome setup!

🏢 Here in 2025 I'm opening an office in Pittsburgh and building a team to tackle and lead new innovation for SR Measure and Stockpile Reports, with key roles around mobile development, UX design, 3D computer vision, and image-based machine learning.

📏 Can you spot the tape measure that was being used as a test to manually verify the scale?

❄️ This past week I got out of my office and measured some snow-covered piles (one of the environmental challenges of being in Pittsburgh over the winter).

📱 The animation above shows a sparse point cloud that was computed on an iPhone 16 within seconds for one of those piles.

Hope you feel better soon!

Slightly related: During my holiday break I really enjoyed reading (or re-reading) How Google Works. Lots of inspiring thoughts for how to build a team, product, and company.

I love it!

Beautiful results! Nice work! 🎉
