You are a data wizard.
To work your magic in a nontechnical world, you need your data to be approachable, accurate, updateable… and gorgeous. You want to be empowered, and in control.
You won’t compromise.
You need a solution that preserves the scientific integrity and security of your data, while respecting your budget.
You need a partner with a technology philosophy that balances cost-effective implementation with long-term reliability.
And most of all, you need a vendor you can trust.
I'm Dan Tell.
For over 20 years I’ve worked on all sides of immersive interactive AV technology.
My diverse skillset includes:
- Bridging the gap between technical experts and their target audiences through visual synthesis of complex data sets
- Specifying, integrating, troubleshooting, and maintaining viz hardware
- Leveraging powerful software tools to make compelling experiences possible
I’ve shaped experiences to effectively communicate with a wide variety of audiences and stakeholders.
- Scientists exploring their data to gain new insights
- Policy-makers and public officials using complex data to better inform their decision-making
- General audiences and school groups on virtual adventures
By fusing my capabilities with your subject matter expertise, we’ll create a visual experience to support your goals and tell your data’s story.
“I had the great pleasure of working with Dan Tell during our time at the California Academy of Sciences, where he was central to the technical and creative success of the Morrison Planetarium. His deep understanding of immersive systems, combined with his ability to communicate complex astronomical concepts visually and intuitively, left a strong impression… (continued)
I cannot think of a more talented science visualizer than Dan. Dan is a master of his craft and has assisted us with several projects at the Emil Buehler Planetarium. Dan has helped enhanced my astronomy courses and public planetarium programs by creating immersive visualizations that add in topics as celestial mechanics, planetary sciences, and more.
Dan provides nothing but the utmost professionalism to his craft and is eager to work on new challenging projects with the focus of helping people understand the nature of the cosmos in an easy and digestible way.
