Projects

I selected some of my school projects to put up online. Sorry no source code as these are actual class assignments!

UC Berkeley

I built a MIDI synthesizer!

Stanford University

We put together a design concept for a Hiking Pal device. Here are the presentation (PDF version) and the storyboard (PDF version).

Fun Macromedia Director projects developed for my HCI Design Studio class.

We conducted a Contextual Document Study for Adobe Systems. This is an ethnographic study on 10 people to gain insights on how people interact with documents, both electronic and printed.

Alas I lost my source documents and the presentation we did for the class. I only have the final reports here in PDF format.

Observations
Framework

I wrote a video game! It's kinda simple actually, but it works. It's a tribute to Isaac Asimov and his novel Fantastic Voyage. Click on the picture to see more screenshots.

A selection of projects utilising a variety of user survey methodologies.

A series of studies I conducted on how people use Microsoft Word:

• Microsoft Word Usage Survey on Help Features
• Comparing the Efficiency of Microsoft Word Help Features
• Contextual inquiry into how a graduate student uses Microsoft Word

And a group project studying the user friendliness of ICQ. Here are the presentation slides (PDF version).

We used an interactive speech agent to develop this prototype of an English Conversation Learning Guide for non-native speakers of English. Interestingly, our team is an all Asian, all international team.

Here are our presentation slides (PDF version) and final report.
