James George is an Emmy-award winning artist, entrepreneur and computer scientist. James is a pioneer in volumetric video experience creation and software product development. He was CEO and Co-Founder of Scatter, a creative technology company that develops the original volumetric video capture software Depthkit. Scatter’s product Depthkit is the most widely used tool for creating volumetric video human holograms. First launched as an open source beta in 2011, Depthkit has enabled tens of thousand users to create volumetric video. Today, Depthkit serves a vibrant community of global enterprises and creative artists alike. James is the primary inventor on Scatter’s patents granted by the USPTO that represent Depthkit’s foundational intellectual property for volumetric video technology. He served as Executive Producer for Scatter’s virtual reality title Zero Days VR which won the first News & Documentary Emmy awarded to a 6DOF Virtual Reality experience. He was nominated for a second Emmy in 2022 for The Changing Same VR, for which he also acted as Executive Producer. Prior to founding Scatter, James was the first Artist-in-Residence at Microsoft Research in Redmond. He co-directed CLOUDS, the first virtual reality documentary to utilize volumetric video for human holograms. CLOUDS premiered at Sundance New Frontier in 2014; won the Tribeca Storyscapes Award for Transmedia that year; then toured globally before its exhibition at the New York Museum of Modern Art in 2016. James coined the term ‘Volumetric Filmmaking’ in his 2016 essay A New Dimension in Filmmaking to distinguish the creative artform from the underlying volumetric video technology. Volumetric filmmaking has been recognized as an important emerging medium by the world’s most influential film festivals, arts organization and largest technology and media companies including Microsoft, Google, Meta, Intel, WarnerMedia and Verizon.

I’m the founder and CEO of VitalSign Ai and Breathing Ai, where we develop patented bio-adaptive technologies that personalize digital experiences by detecting real-time vital signs and emotional states through standard webcams—eliminating the need for wearables. Our platforms are utilized globally to enhance health, productivity, and user research. With over 11 years of award-winning research, including projects at MIT and recognition from the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) at Stanford, my work bridges AI, neuroscience, and human-computer interaction. I’ve led wellness programs and projects at Google HQ NYC, WeWork HQ, R/GA, and ThoughtWorks. Trained by experts such as Wim Hof, Drukmo Gyal, and Buddhist masters, I am committed to integrating science, technology, and contemplative practices to foster well-being and meaningful innovation. I’ve also been teaching meditation, ice baths, yoga and breathing practices to tens of thousands of people all ages (2-85y) internationally. I work with private clients, in corporate offices, global conferences, museums and workshops, and have been volunteering in jails and schools. For almost 20 years, I have also been exhibiting as an artist in galleries and museums (e.g. Pérez Art Museum, Bronx Museum NY) and galleries internationally.

As a Creative Strategist I build the bridge between audience/cultural insight, creative action, and market/business outcomes. Over the past 8 years, that’s looked like helping to shape Duolingo’s "unhinged" owl persona, redefining New Museum’s brand voice through its expansion, and turning SuperRare’s RarePass into a headline launch that was emulated across the industry. Whether defining a "0 to 1" go-to-market plan for a start-up or finding fresh "Blue Ocean" growth inside a global brand system, I’m after the same outcome: work that moves people and numbers. I leverage systems thinking, first-principles analysis, human-centered storytelling (IQ, EQ, RQ), and timeless visual systems to craft strategies and briefs that inspire teams from creative ideas to market impact. Currently exploring mid-senior Creative Strategy roles. If you’re aligning brand story with measurable growth, and you want a Strategist who can speak the language of your Creative team, let’s chat! -- More personally, I'm passionate about ocean sailing, ecology, gardening, mental health, sports (F1, Soccer, Boxing), dance (Breaking, Hustle, Tango), music, opera, art, film, comedy, tech (AI, web3/crypto).
