- Research interests
- I am interested in how to support people who want to carry
out concurrent tasks in real and virtual environments. To achieve
this I am looking at ways of producing represenations of people which
have a degree of autonomy. The work forms part of a part time Ph.D
which I am studying for at Nottingham University.
- Background
- Designing and Evaluating User Interfaces at BT Laboratories since 1990
MSc. in Work Design and Ergonomics, Birmingham University, 1990
BA in Psychology, Liverpool University, 1989
Current project
I am learning the character behaviour modelling details of the Alive
system at the moment. I then hope to build a graphical user
interface to allow the behaviour patterns of the character to be
modified at run-time.
