FIGUR8 began as a collaboration between MIT scientists, Massachusetts General Hospital Orthopedics and the Boston Red Sox, in search of a better way to diagnose and treat injuries. The result was a state-of-the-art sports lab providing objective, actionable data around MSK function. FIGUR8 has now adapted that technology for use at any point of care.

I worked with Figur8 as a contract tech artist fresh out of college with no real formal experience yet. They are a 3D motion tracking startup company based in the heart of Boston. Using compounded gyroscopic data input to gauge client and patient musculoskeletal diagnostics/progress. Constantly improving technology that accommodates human health and habits first in design and development of their products.
A project early on in development for use in engaging users with sensors was a "Zombie Boxing" demo app to gauge specific Bluetooth characteristics as input.
I found making something engaging with these custom controllers exciting and stoked the fiery passion I have for serious games and apps that not only held the attention of a user/player but also improved their health and body consciousness rewarding! After the demo projects I was hired on to work as a mobile app designer to visualize and test the hardware to software relationship for end-users.
