I'm an HCI major, Stanford class of '012.
I think virtual worlds should ideally provide applications and experiences that more traditional information-transfer architectures (like the real world and the World Wide Web) can't. My goal is to create applications and games that:
- are difficult or impossible to create in the real world,
- are enhanced by inhabiting a rich virtual environment populated with many users, and
- can operate synergistically with other applications in the world.
Operating System
Mac OS 10.5.8
Interests
- Music
- Architecture and urban planning
- Languages and Linguistics
- Sandbox games
- Interfaces
- Graphics
- Physics Simulations
Application Ideas
- A language-learning game, possibly integrated with other applications for maximum immersiveness
- A massively-multiplayer game of Assassins, Fugitives, or Humans vs. Zombies.
- Collaborative music creation using uploaded sound and MIDI files, ideally with an in-world MIDI editor.
Experience
- Maya 8
- Google SketchUp
- Autodesk Revit
