This is a project for Multimodal Interaction course that we did in KTH in December 2015 — January 2016. The aim of the project is to visually represent guitar sound with the use of a growing tree metaphor. The tree on the computer screen grows while user plays guitar and how the tree looks like depends on the properties of the played guitar sound. For instance, the size of tree leaves depends on the sound amplitude and the color depends on the pitch.

For this project I was responsible for guitar sound analyzis. However, I also played significant role on idea development and visual part of the project.

This is a project for Physical Interaction and Design course that we did in KTH in September — October 2015. Basically, it's a low-polygonal-shaped action blocks toy. All the blocks can stick to each other with the use of magnets. There's one main block that contains some electronics that allow to perform simple play logic: you can shake it and it will produce the sound of some animal. This action will give a child a starting point for building, leaving no limitations for inspiration.

For this project we developed everything starting from the idea and ending with the fully-working prototype. I was responsible for all 3D printing, including creation of actual 3D models of the blocks. I also took part in developing idea of the toy, assembling the final prototype and creating a platform (electronical part of the project) with other teammates.

This project was also chosen for participation in Student Design Challenge of TEI'16 conference.

Set of three mobile health applications for Android platform:

These projects were done inside Yaroslavl FRUCT Laboratory and I started to work on them when they were already published and under development for some time. I worked on bug fixes and optimization, helped to develope some small features, worked in applications' support and also developed a library that was used in all three applications to synchronize data with remote server.

Mobile application for heart rate measuring with the use of device's camera for Symbian platform. The application was needed, since there were no applications of this type on Symbian platform. Pulse Detector became the first and the one of a type. But the most valuable thing of this project is not an application itself, but the heart rate measuring algorithm that was developed for it. For the times of the project only few papers on this topic were published. Our experiments showed that algorithms for heart rate measuring using mobile phone camera that were described in these papers work very bad and give bad results. Therefore, it was decided to developed own algorithms. The work on the whole project (algorithm + application) was done by me with the help of my supervisor. The results of the project were also published and presented on international conferences (see Publications). Pulse Detector application won the Best Demo prize of 13th FRUCT Conference. The project also became the topic for my Specialist Degree Thesis.

A framework for development of dataflow network agents for Smart-M3 platform with substitution mechanism. The project was done as part of a big project dealing with development of substitution mechanism for dataflow networks built upon Smart Spaces and IoT paradigms. The framework is written in Java and completely developed by me with the help of my supervisor.

Simple activities stimulating fitness application for Android platform. It's main idea is to become a virtual dog for it's user with the only need — need to walk, to stimulate the user for walking activities. I was lead developer and manager of this project, managing the work of one student.

Application on Google Play: Walky Doggy

Game for LG Smart TV platform with a gameplay similar to Alias board game. I developed idea of the game and was a lead developer and manager of the project, also managing the work of two studenst. The game is only in Russian, since it was developed to participate in LG Smart TV Apps Contest 2012 and it made it to the finals. The game was published in Russian LG Smart TV Apps Store. Eventhough, it was just a project to participate in the Contest, me and my friends still enjoy playing it.

Open source context-aware GTD-style task collector and manager for Symbian platforms. The key features of the application include: automatic context detection by user's location, collection and synchronization of tasks from different external systems, event-based task activation. I was one of the main developers for this project.
