Biography
Electrical engineer for 8 years.
Commercial software development for 4 years.
Scientific software research and development for 18 years
My particular interest is in developing virtual environments involving haptics and distance collaboration. Areas of application include surgical training, geological exploration and mine planning.
Other interests include enhancing video-conferencing with interaction techniques, tele-operation and scientific visualisation.
