The Digital Media team at Memorial Hermann Health System (MHHS) was challenged to find a creative way to activate our sponsorship with Houston Rockets center Dwight Howard. We chose to use new 360 degree video technology along with Google Cardboard to create a one-of-a-kind digital experience for the Rockets fans in our pediatric hospital. Acting as lead on this project, I coordinated multiple departments within MHHS, Houston Rockets and Toyota Center teams. The result was over 850,000 video views between the 2 videos.
