I work as a developer for a software company that makes two applications, one for lighting and stage design in the entertainment industry and the other for the event and conference industry.
They allow you to draft up your venue or show in 3D and then light it ahead of time virtually.
All of the lights and their effects are based on real fixtures and it's my job to create their virtual CAD models and working profiles. I do this by live testing the real fixture and taking that data and wrestling it into our code. The software is used around the world and to give you a cool example, the Who performance at the Superbowl was preprogrammed with our software.
I work mostly by myself which I like.
