Projects & Teaching

A selection of my projects and teaching experience.

List of Projects

moodle spy	Advanced moodle statistic display.
biocube	artificial growth processes in voxel space
mpmod	Multi-Perspective Modeling and Simulation Software
Joystick	A DirectX joystick wrapper library including force feedback support.
Airkanoid	Airkanoid is a mixed reality remake of the classical Arkanoid from Taito. The new mixed reality interface allows more natural interaction beyond mouse, keyboard and joystick. Real bats are tracked and the bodily actions are translated into game events. A tight coupling between the player and the game is created.
Pervasive Doom	Doom3 PDA is a modification for Doom 3 from idSoftware. It replaces the virtual PDA with a real one. The game is still played on the PC but every access to the virtual PDA is redirected to the real one. A special application is running that reassembles the functionality of Doom3's assistant. The user can access data, read emails, listen to audio, and watch video messages on his real handheld device.
Fairy Tales	A computerized ghost writer. Fairy Tales reads a text and tells a story about it.
CAVE	A low cost CAVE solution.
c2g	Advanced color to gray image conversion. Converts into grayscale and tries to preserve important features of the original image.
SPScc	A STEP5 and IEC 1131 Instruction List to Conrad C-Control Compiler.
Doom 3 Arena	A CAVE modification for Doom 3
iSeeYou	A video conference system for games.
VBT	Tracking colored objects using a WebCam with position and orientation. Used by Airkanoid
King Donkey	The use of real Bongos as an input controller for computer games.
Scotland Art	Scotland Art is a tangible and social game that shows different aspects of mixed reality gaming. It integrates a physical interface and augmented display along with a mobile adaption. The main focus of this game is to fully support social computing and how computers can enhance the game.
MRGP	The mixed reality game port is a device that provides a standarized way to handle input and output channels of various devices (joystick, physical devices, video, ...). It was designed to fit the need of mixed reality games.
OlympicRun	Around 1990, a set of successful computer sport games have been played: Summer, Winter, and Olympic Games. Now, with the advent of the Olympic Games in Athens, a new mixed reality enhanced version is presented, where the old joystick interface is replaced by a new human-computer-interaction paradigm, in which the player uses his whole body to control his avatar in the virtual world, without encumbering him in obstrusive equipment. Through implicit feedback and a tight coupling between the player and his action in the domain of interest, a deep sense of immersion is created. The simplicity and robustness makes the interface fun and easy to use, and attractive for the gaming industry.
QuakeRunner	QuakeRunner is a Mixed Reality game based on Quake 3 Arena™ from id Software. A new player game interface paradigm is introduced. A player is no longer running and jumping using keyboard and mouse instead he has to run in reality to move through the virtual world. BODILY ACTION
SWEAT	After QuakeRunner and OlympicRun the SWEAT interface was integrated to WinFellow, an Amiga emulator. SWEAT is the driver for new human-computer-interaction interface that translates real moves into virtual avatar moves.
Drunken Master	A Mixed Reality Karate Engine. The game is based on International Karate+ from Archer Maclean, a martial arts engine where one or two users play against the computer. Each player can do jumps, kicks and other Karate movements.
Madness	This is one of my own 3D Engine that includes support for indoor and outdoor scenery. It contains features like Multi-PC rendering capacity for wide screen displays and CAVEs, Multiplayer support and programmable Q3A like shaders.
GRACEland	GRACEland is graph transformation environment based on the GRACE language with a VR interface.
