I am finally home after my epic journey full of exciting research experiences, and realizing this sorry site needs a lot of updating. How does one balance the doing and the telling? As you can see, I’m not so active on the self-promo side, but I’m committed to working on it! Stay tuned…
Looking for info on Vuzik? Check out what little I have so far under “Academic Work.”
My trip consisted first of a 20 day visit to Tokyo, where I worked at the University of Electro-Communications to conduct a user study of my interface, Vuzik, with its co-creator, Dr. Junko Ichino. During my stay, I presented my research to the Media Lab at UEC, Chofu, as well at the Research Institute of Electrical Communication at
Tohoku University under the direction of Dr. Yoshifumi Kitamura, in Sendai. A brief break week in Vancouver included research discussions with Dr. Nicolas d’Alessandro of the MAGIC Lab at University of British Columbia. Last stop was the CNMAT Max/MSP Summer Workshop at the University of California at Berkeley where I probably doubled my chops in and appreciation Max/MSP, the object-oriented audio-programming language I used to create Vuzik.
So many new epiphanies and rich experiences to synthesize and process, and so many great people I met along the way.
