Projects

Webcam Eye Tracker

An end-to-end deep-learning method to predict real-time eye gaze locations. Unlike commercial eye trackers that rely on infrared, this method uses only a regular webcam.

Game Review Aggregation

ETL pipeline to collect game reviews (web scraping, APIs), and transform / store them for analysis. Fed into a machine learning pipeline for clustering and sentiment analysis.

Cognitive Battery

Developed a modular data collection platform to gather experiment data for various Cognitive Science computer tasks. This application was created to save time during my PhD.

sensormotion

Open-source Python package to aid the analysis of sensor-based motion data. Includes algorithms for peak detection and extraction of various gait metrics.

RoK Talents

Developed a web application that allows Rise of Kingdoms players to design and customize character talent builds. Builds can also be linked and shared with other players.

Color Blind Simulator

Internal research tool for simulating color blindness in video games. Real-time simulation allows for quick identification of accessibility issues in games research.

Smartphone Gait Measurement

Developed novel smartphone-based method to measure outdoor gait kinematics. Used multilevel modelling to analyze multidimensional sensor and image data.

Loot Box Reward Distribution

Used statistics and hypothesis testing to answer a common question in the gaming community: do different methods of opening loot boxes lead to a different distribution of rewards?

HoloLens: Learning in Mixed Reality

Designed experiments, collected data, and performed statistics to understand how users learn brain anatomy and move around in mixed reality environments.

Dual Eye Tracking

Developed technique to perform live eye tracking on 2 subjects simultaneously. Analysis consisted of various auto-correlation and cross-correlation methods.

RoK Commander Pairings

Created force-directed graphs to illustrate ideal pairings of Rise of Kingdoms game characters. The visualization provides insight into how to optimize team compositions.

Overwatch Performance

Analyzed and visualized trends in personal Overwatch skill rating over time. Breakdowns by game mode and map type help to identify factors that affect performance.
