The MyView Video Diver is an application for viewing and browsing interactive video. This is video that includes embedded hyperlinks, data annotations, and support for spatial navigation among other features. My role was the development and evaluation of new interfaces to support a user in navigating their viewing history. The Video Diver is part of the larger MyView project in the HCT lab detailed in this project page.

QLeaves is a system for distributing and sharing user-generated digital media in public spaces through physical objects. The QLeaf is a leaf shaped card printed with two QRcodes by which people may read and write digital messages and photos to and from the QLeaf using a mobile phone's email and web browsing applications. I designed and developed the QLeaves system while on internship at NTT's Cyber Solutions Laboratories in Yokosuka, Japan. Japanese information about the project can be read here and I have posted an overview in English here.

Meeting probes are based on Gaver et al's Cultural Probes design technique and used to uncover attitudes and achieve new insights about meetings in the workplace. I acted as a leader in the design, administration and interpretation of meeting probes in an exercise organized to help colleagues explore a new research area. I have posted a summary of this exercise here.

Echology is an interactive sound and video artwork for participants to collaboratively play with directional sounds initiated by the playful movements of Belugas whales captured with a live webcam provided by the Vancouver Aquarium. I developed Echology with three other artists in the HCT lab and used it for case studies in my thesis work on methods to study participant experience of interactive artworks. Echology is detailed in this project page.

The Memory Collage is a concept exploring the use of information capturing devices in the environment of a social gathering. Photographs, audio recordings and writings are collected and stored to be browsed later in a collage-type interface. We implemented and studied a prototype of the Memory Collage system for a course in Human Interface Technologies. The Memory Collage project is detailed here.
