Experience

My background is Electronics design.  I have an Electrical Engineering degree.

Why

I am interested in pushing the boundaries between physical and virtual interactions.  I would like to understand what prior work exists in this field and to explore concepts for future projects.

Description:  A unique interface in the physical shape of a magnifying glass.  This interface reveals latent digital information (“shadow”) about everyday objects such as how they are constructed or how they work.  Similar to a traditional magnifying glass, as a user moves our device closer or farther away (tangible-interface), the nature of the displayed information changes from a high-level overview to atomic-scale like detail.
