Augmented Reality

I am a member of the development team that created PowerCat Enhanced (powered by Layar), for Kansas State University. PowerCat Enhanced is a mobile augmented reality micro-application that provides location-based information about campus buildings and services, housing and dining, and parking. (Parking seems to be the favorite feature.)

I am a registered developer with Apple and Layar, and a beta tester with several companies. My technology work tends to focus on design-related developments  in virtual and augmented reality technologies.
