Verizon Augmented Reality / Virtual Reality
Verizon is an American multinational telecommunications conglomerate and a corporate component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Verizon is the largest wireless communications service provider in the US and is also a large telecommunications company that was one of the seven ‘Baby Bells’ that was formed following a lawsuit involving AT&T and the US Department of Justice.
Under the direction of the executive director, Verizon wanted a way to use latest technology to equip technicians with augmented reality and virtual reality devices. It was showcased in a technology event within Verizon’s Basking Ridge location. The idea was to show locations of manholes, poles, terminals, etc within standing range. If those items are obstructed from view such as in the case of snow, technicians will still be able to easily identify the correct location of the item.

Verizon’s Optix software is used by customer support or engineers to identify problems within a FIOS connection for a home or office. This project joined both lead network engineers and users to use machine learning tool. Based on the initial system of checks the software could identify if it was a common problem or a complex one where the two panels would open up. To make the interface easier to use, a system of icons were created. The larger icon was the device or network and the smaller icon on the lower right was the action.
GRM UI Designs

Other Illustrations
Graphic arts has been a passion of mine and often I’ve created art for self promotion. Compositing photos that follow a sketch is a great skill and can be done quickly if you maintain assets such as templates, brushes, and Photoshop actions. My designs are inspired by art history’s great discoveries such as chiaroscuro, grids, perspective, balance, proportion, etc.
