Technical Projects

A collection of technical projects I’ve built. I deeply enjoy going from idea to prototype.

A respiration sensor for virtual reality

A sensor built specifically for digitizing respiration activity of a virtual reality user. The goal of this project was to build the easiest to use and lowest latency method of breath detection for virtual reality in order to create novel relaxation experiences.

Results

When posted to Oculus Reddit page, this item was the number one entry of the day and garnered 1000+ views. People reached out to purchase sensors and use them for games and research projects. We currently collaborate with Cornell, SUNY Oswego, University of Florida and a few companies on projects they are building using the sensor. We filed for a provisional patent.
