I was a member of a small strategic team at Microsoft, developing functional demos of NUI (natural user interface) scenarios that employ emerging sensing technologies. We used a variety of sensor mechanisms to glean insights into people's attention and intention while they interact with a range of devices. The primary focus was on UX design, looking at how to effectively utilize new sensors with combinations of mobile, multi-touch, and pen/digital-ink, while also considering how to integrate new technologies into legacy keyboard/mouse UI scenarios.

I have had the pleasure of working with universities, educators, science museums, art museums, filmmakers, interactive artists, among others. A common thread to all has been the opportunity to work on innovative media-oriented software in a variety of projects, including interactive museum exhibits, data visualizations, tools for filmmakers, early prototypes of high profile consumer electronics devices, educational software, and special effects for music videos.
