Effects in Delta
There are tree effects in this demo that i’m very happy about: Marching cubes tunnel At the beginning I was playing with using marching cubes algorithm to generate landscapes. At some point I asked myself. What if instead of making mountains we start to drill holes inside the iso-surface? Hmmm. Just make it longer and [...]
Delta – an iPhone demo released at Breakpoint’10
Breakpoint is the biggest pure demoscene party nowadays. Or I should say it was ‘the biggest’ because this year’s Breakpoint was the last one. I’ve never been to Breakpoint but there was no way we could not release something as DMA. With over 1000 visitors this year it was a place to be. Delta is [...]

This way we can use projector for something much more interesting than flat powerpoint presentation like VJ projections. As I was invited for vivisesja this year I decided to play a bit with Processing and see what I [...]
Realtime, every time
“Realtime, every time” that’s the motto of shiftcontrol studios – a small design studio based in Copenhagen that I joined in the middle of September. We did some projects together in the past and when I graduated from CIID they asked me to join them. I couldn’t resist In addition to three other guys I’m [...]

Description: This mobile application is a result of exploration of mobile gestural interfaces for personal data mining. By providing means both for collecting and visualizing data on the go this [...]
My final project (thesis) mid term presentation.
Recently I had a discussion about my final project with Niels Clausen-Stuck (my advisor) from Designit and Jan-Christoph Zoels from Experientia. I still have to digitalize all the feedback that I got from them but for now here is my presentation. It’s style is something that I developed earlier this year – mixing post-it notes [...]
