For Gaming and Arts

Leader of the design and development teams that tested novel interfaces for gaming and arts projects with a variety of targeted audiences. From enticing real customers in retail environments ^1,5 to enhancing attention of Pre-K students ², I am focused on enhancing user engagement and interaction performance. The design of novel hardware coupled with careful assessment of the quality of the user experience is a powerful combination to develop multimodal systems that seek natural interaction with humans in real situations and games that serve as tools for training and evaluating user performance.
