After my M.A. degree I was awarded an internship at a NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) Research Center to work with a 360° six projector stereoscopic virtual reality room used for mine safety and rescue training simulations and research.

The internship gave me the freedom to select my own projects and work with a number of staff.

• Redesigned the VR room control scheme and built an effective one-handed control device using a smooth tracking air-mouse fitted with a working Xbox 360 controller joystick
• Created less intrusive reticules for targeting inside the simulator application to increase immersion
• Worked on tracking solutions inside the simulator which had not yet been implemented
• Interfaced sensors into an Android application using a micro-controller for a separate project to monitor mine worker positions and gas concentrations
