TRAINING & SIMULATION

My current work in the field of simulations programming is derived from years of study and experience building physical architecture, working with graphics engines, and studying software development in the context of gamification.  Bridging the worlds of physical and virtual architecture requires an understanding of how we interact with our reality, and how we expect to interact with our representations of reality in virtual environments.  User Experience (UX) design plays a key role in the development of these simulations.  Communicating messages in training and simulations requires an understanding of how spatialized information can improve the way we learn, the feelings we get while learning, and how an engagement with virtual surrounds can be a powerful mnemonic device.
