Tools

I ship software people play: video games, apps, and creative infrastructure. I’ve built mixed reality systems for real world exhibitions, cultural heritage, scientific research, and design previsualization. I care about the layers beneath the surface of interactive software—editor tooling, technical art, and performance—and how to design systems that learn from the people who use them.

Better Qr Codes

Better Qr Codes

2024
web tool

A custom Python pipeline that embeds full-color images into QR codes while maintaining scannability with standard phone cameras. The technique works by deconstructing a generated QR code into its cellular data. While preserving the critical landing markers, the pipeline reconstructs the data-carrying portions of the code as an image. It overlays this image with a pattern of fine dots, calibrated to manipulate the average luminance within each cell. This ensures that when a scanner samples the cells, it correctly reads them as light or dark, preserving the original data while making the embedded image visible to the human eye.

tool updatearperformance

A major update to Wikar for which I developed several key performance and feature improvements in preparation for new AR projects. These included: a multi-tiered caching system to enable offline mode for sculpture gardens; an iterative solver that uses a scan's confidence rating to progressively refine AR placement accuracy; and an optimized mesh slicer system for exploring 3D cross-sections of complex models.

360 Visualizer

2023
web tool

A web tool for creating immersive 360 degree panoramas with text and recorded sound for exhibitions, working in all major browsers and using device compass/gyro (or click and drag) to rotate the panorama intuitively. I developed this for the Cyprus Institute. A demo can be found here.

A wiki survey tool implementing methods from two previous wiki survey systems (All Our Ideas and POLIS) with new innovations. I developed this web application as part of the MetaFraming research. See the MetaFraming paper for more details.
