Maciej is a hybrid Technical Lead.
Armed with a Masters degree in Informatics he primarily specialises in advanced VR and cutting edge HTML5 but nothing from backend, cloud computing, networking to iOS or Android development holds fear for him.
His body of work includes a mind-blowing 3D web experience "Star Wars: Lightsaber Escape", Emmy winning dual screen Chrome Experiment "Just a Reflektor", Adobe Cutting edge award winner Kingsman dual screen experience and Cannes Lions / One show winner "MINI Maps" amongst many others.

Creating Star Wars: Lightsaber Escape
Based on my Tech Lead experience from the Google / Disney / ILM / 72andSunny "Star Wars: Lightsaber Escape" - a second-screen 3D WebGL experience where your phone becomes a lightsaber, released in December 2015 for the premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, I'm going to share insights for how we built it both from the front end and backend point of view. The talk is open for questions and is thought-provoking.
Agenda: - Technologies used - Production process - Believable lightsaber control model - Backend infrastructure supporting millions of players worldwide - Physics implementation - Performance optimisation: graphics, physics, latency
