Interactive Whiteboard Software

I made software for an interactive IR whiteboard. It was done entirely in HTML5/JavaScript using NW.js.

Other technologies used:
• React with Redux.
• Node.js XMPP for communication and message exchange.
• Kurento Media Server to handle WebRTC audio/video conferencing and screen sharing.

WebGL 3D Construction Model Viewer

By using the Three.js library, I made a WebGL 3D construction viewer where it has some functions similar to Autodesk Inventor and it can load a 3D construction model and display different kinds of graphs based on the data calculated on the server.

Mobile Application for a BLE Smartband Gadget

A React Native-based iOS/Android mobile application for a BLE smartband gadget for older people. The application was created to set up the BLE gadget and show data visualization from that device. I was responsible for creating a complete React Native application based on the client's designs and integrating it with the back-end API. I've also created a BLE connection wizard.

3D Athlete Performance Visualization

I was responsible for creating WebGL 3D animation viewer for displaying various parameters from athletes' training motion capture data, that required translating BVH motion capture data into a 3D model animation rig and the prepared rigged 3D model needed to be displayed in a web application using Three.js/WebGL library and able to load any BVH data as playable animation for a 3D character model. UI controls could control additional playback.

Interactive Multiplayer Quiz

An interactive quiz that allows customers who are waiting in line for their turn on rides in amusement parks to compete against each other on their smartphones and win a chance to get early access to the ride. Questions are displayed on large screens installed in the park. Multiple visitors use their smartphones to connect with the screens (via a WebSockets protocol). Users enter dynamically generated and individual PIN codes to participate in the quiz. After every 15 questions, a winner is announced.
