When giving the general public the opportunity to enter their personal details on an interactive kiosk, you have to be prepared to filter incorrect information and where possible correct it.

I noticed when the general public entered their email addresses they often got the name of well known email providers incorrect. For example, joebloggs@hotmailll.com and joebloggs@aaaaool.com.

To deal with this issue, I wrote a PHP script with MySQL data access to interrogate email addresses. The script identified typical email address entry errors and automatically corrected them. Once the script had finished, it reported on all originally entered email addresses, the new corrected email addresses and a red or green status indicator.

Whilst developing a new interactive kiosk application for Baby TV a requirement arose for a custom web browser. Specific functionality included an automatic timeout to a default web site feature, allowing access and navigation to certain web sites.

I could not produce this functionality with an existing web browser application, even using some of the multitude of add-ons and plugins currently available.

I developed a web browser with an automatic timeout feature, web address, mySQL database integration, content filtering and comprehensive administrative logging.

This software has since been modified to work in conjunction with Scala‘s digital signage software to add web browser functionality to their solution.

I worked as a technical consultant and project manager with an major outdoor events company MEI Events. A past project involved being a project co-ordinator for the O2 ATP Finals involving Andy Murray and Pat Cash on the roof of the O2, London.

The roof of O2 has one of the best and most exclusive views of London. As part of the ATP’s campaign to publicise the 2009 ATP World Finals, MEI Events produced and managed a photo-shoot with Andy Murray on the roof of the O2, which we branded with the ATP logo in the centre of a huge target.

Dover Castle was wrapped in a series of dramatic projections that stunned English Heritage’s guests and the media alike. On one of the massive 35 metre walls of the Great Tower, the Digi-Da-Vinci software was premiered. Digi-Da-Vinci turns any structure into a giant blank canvas on which anyone, using a combination of digital paintbrushes and stamps, quickly creating the most fantastic technicolour images.

The Digi-Da-Vinci software is a painting package using mathematical equations to produce stunning visual effects. The visual effects developed range from simple printing, “painting by numbers” graphic revealing, stamps, dripping paint, spray can and so on. I part developed the Digi-Da-Vinci software package with Chris Savage, MEI Events using Processing, in particular I developed the dripping paint and stamp tool algorithms as seen below in the YouTube clip.
