Career

Google

As principal filmmaker for virtual reality at Google,[4] Brillhart developed content including "World Tour," the first virtual reality film created using the Jump platform[5][6][7], and pioneered editing techniques for virtual reality including Probabilistic Experiential Editing.[8]

Following Ann Druyan's use of the term in an interview, Brillhart began differentiating between VR film experiences and 2D films, or "flatties,"[9] and popularizing the term in interviews and conferences.[10]

Vrai Pictures, Traverse, and University of Southern California

In 2018, Brillhart founded Vrai Pictures, an immersive content company.

In 2019, Vrai Pictures and Superbright created Traverse, a platform for spatial audio experiences which uses a mobile device and AR audio wearables. Traverse was awarded Special Jury Recognition for The Future of Experience at SXSW. [11] On June 25, 2019, USC announced Brillhart as the incoming director of the Institute for Creative Technologies' Mixed Reality Lab.[12]
