I am a research computer scientist at the University of California, Davis. My research areas are scientific visualization, particularly in immersive ("virtual reality") environments, human/computer interaction in immersive environments, and 3D computer graphics. My primary work is software development, from architecture over design to implementation and coding. I am the primary software developer for the UC Davis W.M. Keck Center for Active Visualization in the Earth Sciences (KeckCAVES). Some of my released packages are Vrui (a VR development toolkit), CollaborationInfrastructure (a tele-collaboration plug-in for Vrui), Kinect (a driver suite to capture 3D video from Microsoft Kinect cameras), LiDAR Viewer (a visualization package for very large 3D point clouds), 3D Visualizer (a system for interactive visual analysis of 3D volumetric data), Nanotech Construction Kit (an interactive molecular design program), and SARndbox (an augmented reality sandbox). I also dabble in VR hardware, in the sense that I take existing custom or commodity hardware components (3D TVs, head-mounted displays, projectors, tracking systems, Wiimotes, Kinect cameras, ...) and build fully integrated immersive environments out of them. This includes a fair share of driver development to support hardware that either doesn't have drivers, or whose vendor-supplied drivers are not up to par.
