Our Games research programme focuses on Digitally Enhanced Realities (DER). These are new forms of human interaction in environments designed with games blended with big data, geo-data, simulations, robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI). In our CRADLE lab, the next generation of games and digital media products and services are designed and created.

Various work for the European MOVIE (Motion Planning in Virtual Environments) project:* Extended University's tools with a high quality roadmap generator. The roadmap generated garantees good quality paths to be used for motion planning or pathfinding.* Extended University's tools with a group motion planner which can generate collision-free paths for multiple entities.* Implemented a 3D model database and web interface to view, convert or download the models.* Webmaster of the official MOVIE websiteThe University's tools were programmed in C++.

I worked on multiple 2D games to demonstrate the potential of the WunderWall developed by WunderWorks. The WunderWall is a big screen that is able to track up to fourty individual pointer positions along with the detection of multiple button presses of each pointer. It allows a large group to play a game simultaneously.Big shot was made in collaboration with Ranj (www.ranj.com).Created with GameMaker.
