For the past decade, experience design duo Dave Rife and Gabe Liberti—known as Dave & Gabe—have pioneered projects that merge custom tactile interfaces, multi-channel spatial audio, and volumetric LED sculptures.

After years of pushing the boundaries of experiential marketing, they turned their focus toward building their own social entertainment brand, leading to Game of 1000 Boxes—a groundbreaking interactive game show experience. In this deep dive, Dave and Gabe share their creative and technical journey, from early prototyping to large-scale implementation.

They’ll explore the intersection of 3D modeling, custom PCB electronics, and TouchDesigner, revealing how they designed a framework capable of supporting 40 simultaneous players. From concept development in their studio garage to real-world playtesting, this talk showcases how innovation and iteration come together to create next-generation immersive experiences.
