In July 2008, I married my beautiful wife Ashley in Santa Barbara! We had a wonderful wedding ceremony here in the US, and then the week after we had another celebration in Australia. Thank you to everyone who came to our wedding, we had such an amazing time.

As of September 2010, we are now in the process of moving to the Bay Area since I recently started work at Qualcomm BARD, and so we are very excited about the opportunities that will bring.

We have two wonderful doggies that we adopted from the K-9 Pals at the local Santa Barbara animal shelter. Mila is a Staffordshire Terrier mix and Dylan is a Pit Bull mix, are they are both fantastic dogs. They love to play in the yard, sleep in their beds inside, and get super excited to go on their morning walk every day.

Ashley and I both keep a profile on Facebook that we update more often than here so our friends can keep up to date on what we are up to!

Since September 2010, I have joined the Qualcomm Bay Area R&D group in Santa Clara, California. I am working on long-term research projects for Qualcomm, which will eventually work their way into mobile phones. More information is available at the BARD web site.

I was previously Development Manager at WorldViz in Santa Barbara, California. I worked on the development of the Vizard toolkit, the PPT optical tracking system, and the design and implementation of many large HMD and CAVE systems.

I was formerly a Senior Lecturer and researcher at the School of Computer and Information Science, University of South Australia. I was the Co-Director of the Wearable Computer Lab, where we developed new technologies for augmented reality, 3D user interfaces, and mobile computers.

My previous research work is explained in more detail on my research page and my PhD thesis page. I worked on a number of projects, with my main project being the Tinmith mobile outdoor augmented reality system. Please click to find out more about:

• Tinmith mobile outdoor augmented reality software and hardware
• Hand of God collaborative tabletop system
• X-Ray Vision for outdoor AR
• ARQuake augmented reality gaming system

I have graduated three PhD students and also numerous undergraduate students, here are some links to their work:

• Ben Avery
• Ross Smith
• Aaron Stafford

For more information about my academic work, please see my Expanded CV, Short CV, and my publications page which has PDFs of all my work.

I was formerly the course coordinator for Operating Systems 2006 and Computer Graphics 2004-2006 at the University of South Australia.

I have previously lectured and coordinated the course Computer Systems Architecture in 2004 and 2005 before it was renamed to Operating Systems. Also, I previously lectured the course Computer and Internet Technology for three semesters in 2000 and 2001.

I have previously lectured and coordinated the course Data Modelling and Database Design, as well as Object Oriented Data Modelling at Hong Kong Baptist University. I have taught the course five times in Hong Kong in 2001, 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006.

I was the general co-chair for the next International Sympsium on Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR 2006) which was held in Santa Barbara, California during October 2006. I was also the program co-chair for the Australasian User Interface Conference in both 2007 and 2006.

In 2009 and 2010 I was on the program committee for the IEEE Virtual Reality Conference (VR).

In 2002, 2003, and 2004 I was on the program committee for the IEEE International Symposium on Wearable Computers (ISWC), a conference which is held annually.

In 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005 I was either an area chair or on the program committee for the IEEE International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR), although previously it has been called ISAR and IWAR as well.

I was previously research and development manager at SE Network Access in the late 1990s, where I led the design of software and database systems. Some major projects include SE Net's advanced User Manager v4 system, as well as software for SA Central Mk2, Goat Tracks, and many others. I also created the original SE Net globe logo. At one point we were the biggest ISP in Adelaide. Unfortunately the original SE Net no longer exists since it was absorbed into OzEmail/WorldCom, which then got absorbed into iiNet.
