HCI Portfolio
The projects presented in this portfolio are from my tenure at Georgia Tech as an HCI student. Additional examples of work can be acquired by request.
Evaluations
 |
Fun
on the Playground: A study in design processes. The team
designed an experiment to compare the way HCI and Systems designers
approach a non-CS design problem. Talk-Aloud Protocols were used to
track the design process. |
 |
Facade Evaluation: Master's Project Work. I have designed and run an in depth evaluation of the Interactive Drama piece Facade in an effort to explore methods for evaluating the success of hedonic aspects of systems. The primary method was the use of Retroactive Talk-Aloud Protocols. Published at CHI 2005. |
Interfaces (Web / Application)
 |
Anatrove: This
website collects together information about CD Liner Notes, in an effort
to inform which CDs are worth getting and which should be acquired digitally.
The site was concieved by Shane McDaniel, who built the original design.
I assisted in the second iteration by creating WireFrames for a new layout.

eVITAe: An experiential system for storage and exploration of Personal Information. Using the "event" as the primary design basis, eVITAe strives to provide a direct manipulation querying environment for finding multimedia data. Work was published at ACM Multimedia 2004. |
 |
InfoWater: A project completed for GT's InfoVis class, master's level. The team designed and partially implemented a visualization system for viewing a set of Research Papers related to the field. Work was completed using JAVA Swing. |
 |
Digital Timeline: A project completed for GT's Globalization and New Media class, master's level. The team designed and implemented a digital timeline enabling the exploration of Russian and American history during the 20th century, specifically centered around events related to Home, Authority, Time and Machines. |
Interactive Fiction
 |
Digital Library of Babel: An Interactive Fiction project based on the short story by Jorge Borges. The object is to showcase how even very simple interactions can serve to enhance and compliment the theme of a story. Programmed in JAVA Swing. |
 |
Letters Home: An original story that uses interaction to change the emotional impact of the storyline. Images created in Photoshop, story built using Flash MX. [ Flash ] |
