Presentation / Conference Contribution

The Computer Science and Creative Technologies Department at the University of the West of England has a history of running group social events for multiple awards during induction week. The main aim of these fun events is to help new students to mak... Read More about Freshers' group-working activities for fun, learning and prizes.

Time travel: Time dilation (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In this paper I discuss the theory and actuality of the effects of Time Dilation, as predicted by Einstein’s Special Relativity. Alongside this the research investigates the visible, experiential effects of most personal form of Time Travel from a pe... Read More about Time travel: Time dilation.

Controlling physically based virtual musical instruments using the gloves (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In this paper we propose an empirical method to develop mapping strategies between a gestural-based interface (the Gloves) and physically based sound synthesis models. An experiment was conducted to investigate which gestures listeners associate with... Read More about Controlling physically based virtual musical instruments using the gloves.

AlphaSphere: From prototype to product (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper explores the design process of the AlphaSphere, an experimental new musical instrument that has transitioned into scale production and international distribution. Initially, the design intentions and engineering processes are covered. The... Read More about AlphaSphere: From prototype to product.

A proximity-based framework for mobile services (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Peer-to-peer proximity-based wireless networking can provide improved spatial and temporal semantics and independence over alternative wireless topologies that rely on static network infrastructure, and can potentially enable new classes of mobile ap...

Implementation of high precision synchronization protocols in wireless sensor networks (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Microsecond-level time synchronization is needed in realtime applications of wireless sensor networks. While several synchronization protocols have been proposed, most performance evaluations have been limited to theoretical analysis and simulation,...
