Thoughts and code
I'm an associate professor of computer games at Aalto University. My mission is to improve health through exergames and digitally augmented sports that promote physical activity. My research interests include exergame design and gameplay innovation through technologies such as AI, procedural animation, and computer vision. The video above features a quick analog exergame design exercise I did with my kids; see below for digital projects.
My background is in human-computer interaction, machine learning, computer vision, electronics, and audio signal processing technology, and before that in sound design, demoscene, short films, and theatre. I used to be fluent in AHDL, embedded system design, and several assembler dialects, but nowadays I mostly implement my game and interaction prototypes using C# and Unity 3D, and technology using Python and sometimes C++. I'm a hybrid researcher / engineer / designer.
