George Brown (a.k.a. Serious Cyrus) is a software developer based in Lausanne, Switzerland.

This site contains my independently developed projects, working in OSX and iOS using Cocoa, objective-c, openGL, Quartz Composer and other technologies.

I like to experiment with projection mapping with auto generative and reactive visuals, providing new levels of immersion.

My current project is the Reality Augmenter, a projection mapping tool for iOS and OSX. Originally used to develop my amazing projection mapped DJ setup using OSX and Serato Scratch Live, I since developed an iOS version after friends expressed an interest in the technology and looking for a convenient, portable and cheap solution. Projection (or Video) mapping is an underused technology, it’s seen as complex and expensive, and in the realm of large scale shows and big projects. I think it has tremendous applications without requiring complex setups and teams of designers, simple visuals with effective placements make for striking displays.

I also now work extensively with Swift, working at Pix4D I initially worked on the drone flight planning software Pix4Dcapture. Then, in a moment of madness during Covid lockdown, I initiated and pioneered the PIX4Dcatch application, an AR based capture application which went on to become one of the flasgship projects of the company. Both projects required extensive use of 3rd party SDKs, for Pix4Dcapture, drone SDKs, and for PIX4Dcatch, RTK receiver SDKs. While Pix4Dcapture was still in Objective-c, PIX4Dcatch was written entirely in Swift, leveraging all it’s advantages to rapidly develop a stable product.

For a long time I was also a professional GE Smallworld developer, specialising in the utilities and telecommunications industries, developing GIS projects for large scale enterprise wide GIS applications. In this work I gained extensive experience of software development at all levels, from gathering customer requirements, installing and upgrading software on site, development of customisations and upgrades on my own and in teams, unit testing, writing documentation, delivering training courses and presenting software at board level.
