I'm working as a Research Assistant on my PhD project regarding using Augmented Reality in on-site sports spectating scenario. My job is to revamp and reorganize the few different prototypes I developed to bring it to a usable state on-site. This includes modularization of the components in the application, integration of various initialization methods by other PhD students, synchronization of visualizations across all prototypes and other development related issues. It is also my goal to make the overall user experience better, both for future developers working on this project as well as the users.Concurrently, I am also working on widget placement strategy for AR head-mounted displays for pervasive AR. I am tasked to design a use study to evaluate various placement strategies.

During this time period, I worked as a Research Assistant in two projects, both using Unity:1. AR Prototype Development for viewing historical photographs (April-May)2. VR for Otago Boys High School Virtual Field Trip (May - September)For the AR development I developed an AR prototype using Vuforia and image targets to view how a place looks like in the past. I only did an actual AR prototype as an indoor demonstration but created an indirect AR prototype for outdoor examples. The indirect AR consist of a pre-recorded 360 video in which user can manipulate a slider to see how the place looks like in the past, spatially superimposed on the real environment.For the VR project, I created an VR experience consisting of snippets of 360 video captured at the Rob Roy’s glacier hiking track. I augmented visualizations onto the environment, providing additional context and information in addition to the explanation given by the actor in the video. In this project I did a little video and audio editing, created a VR prototype for the Oculus Quest and also a version to be used with Google Cardboard style mobile VR.

Freelance Project to Create an Android Mobile Application for University Malaya Medical Center in collaboration with University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus. The application is a pain diary that allows caretakers of children with autism to record down events as it happen in a facilitated manner to have it summarized and provided to the doctor during the next visit. This allows a more comprehensive record as well as reducing the chance of the caretaker forgetting any events.

My job involves helping ArtSciencePlay develop 2 technology enabled Exhibits for their client. My work involves working with Arduino and Raspberry Pi along with some other hardware components. It involves designing using Adobe Illustrator as well.
