Top 10 Finalist at Start Peninsula 2012 for the idea presentation in using augmented reality for maritime surface threat simulations. This has led to a massive research effort into augmented reality using Metaio and Qualcomm Vuforia SDK's.
Completed an internship at Midnight Status. The project involved using VBS Worlds to convert aspects of the NATO Defense College's online course's to a 3D simulation.
Successful IOS and Android application launch of c.AR for company Midnight Status. The application uses the Qualcomm Vuforia AR SDK in conjunction with the Unity Game Engine to let users define their own AR targets. After the target is defined exotic vehicles are placed on the targets then letting the user scale, move, or adjust the color of the 3Dmodels and add filters. The application also lets the user post the image or video to various social media outlets.
