I am trained in Visual Arts, Humanities and Digital Media Design Science, with a PhD in Information Technology, "Situated play in open-ended interactive art environments" a monograph, from The School of ITEE, The University of Queensland, Australia.

My main research interest is in tangible, urban and pervasive computing, and focuses on situated play within AR/MR interactive installation, mobile, assistive and cultural environments.

My research discipline areas are:
Interaction Design
Human Computer Interaction

And through these I have worked on a variety of projects including:

Wearable computing (Vibrotactile Vest for EU funded CultAR)
Mobile Augmented Reality (AR)—MapLens for EU funded IPCity
Natural User Interfaces (NUIs)—CityWall for EU funded IPCity
Assistive Technologies for older or disabled—few small projects
Assistive Technologies for Urban Environments (interactive large furniture) as part of EU funded CultAR
• See video (https://vimeo.com/110352851) and multiple publications
Designing Assistive Technologies for Animals and Owners (to help owners address behavioural issues (and Play!) in a manner that supports the people and that animals can work with, understand and enjoy)
