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.

We are having a lot of fun together here in Santa Barbara. While we have been quite busy working lately, we enjoy doing everything together, like learning how to cook nice food, and helping out the K-9 Pals at the local animal shelter where we look after dogs who need adopting.

We recently adopted two of our own dogs, Mila and Dylan. They are both really sweet dogs, they like to play in the yard together and also get to come to work with us some times. Mila also rides in a special trailer on the back of my bike! They both get super excited to go on their morning walk every day.

We 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!

As of June 2007, I have moved to the United States. I now work for a company called WorldViz in Santa Barbara, California. WorldViz specialises in the development of easy to use virtual environments software like Vizard, the PPT optical tracking system, and the design and implementation of most kinds of 3D systems. I maintain an Adjunct Senior Researcher position at the University of South Australia, and have graduated three PhD students: Aaron Stafford, Ben Avery, and Ross Smith. Many of the projects described on this web site are still being worked on at the WCL, so please email me if you are interested in anything.

I was formerly a computer science 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 develop new technologies for mobile computers and virtual environments.

My main research area is augmented reality user interfaces in outdoor environments. My research interests are 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:

• Ben Avery
• Ross Smith
• Aaron Stafford

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.
