Hi, Evan here.
Interaction with technology fascinates me. As a researcher in AR/VR technologies, I design new ways to interact with the virtual, particularly through novel input devices, feedback techniques, and understanding of context. I'd like us to experience true flow-state when we engage with a system: effortless control, minimal friction, and delightful feedback.
In a past (grad student) life, I investigated new paradigms for designing and debugging electronic systems. Armed with tools like instrumentation and programmable hardware, we can surface the hidden state in a complex system and support more iterative and interactive design practices.
