About

I am a PhD Student investigating interactive storytelling, embodied interaction, and games ar SFU SIAT under the supervision of Dr. Alissa Antle,Prof. Jim Bizzocchi and Dr. Magy Seif El-Nasr.

I have several projects that I am currently working on in addition to my dissertation including:

Book: Nonverbal Communication in Virtual Worlds

I am currently editing a book on nonverbal communication in virtual worlds with Magy Seif el-Nasr and Michael Nixon, to be published by ETC-Press in early 2012. The book explores the current state-of-the-art in research into gesture, posture, gaze, avatar puppeteering, and social signaling in multi-user online virtual environments.

I am currently leading the Tabletop Games research group for the GRAND GRNCTY project. We are studying the effectiveness of a multi-player real-time simulation game to engage families in emergent dialogues about sustainability issues.

GRAND PLAYPR: The Reading Glove

The GRAND PLAYPR project is investigating performative embodiment in games. We developed, and are currently evaluating a tangible interactive narrative system called The Reading Glove that uses an expert storytelling system to support readers as they experience a non-linear narrative.
