I am an undergraduate computer scientist. My interests include design in mobile computing, games, and networking. My work at the interface ecology lab has included the design and implementation of TTeCLoG, the development of analysis techniques for studying collaboration in multi-modal systems, and the development of the Object-Oriented Distributed Semantic Services framework(OODSS).
Currently I'm working on making TTeCLoG a mixed reality game. This process has required the integration of many different technologies and fields including head mounted displays, location sensors, and custom pack design. The development of TTeCLoG is an ongoing process, in which we work closely with the Brayton Fire Training Facility.
Besides TTeCLoG, I have helped develop different components of OODSS, which is a communications framework that utilizes ecologylab.xml to serialize objects and send them across the network. Specifically, I have developed a datagram framework that provides low latency communication across questionable networks. I have also been porting the current implementation of OODSS to objective-c for future development on the iPhone.
