Ph.D Fellow at IT University of Copenhagen Pursuing a doctoral degree on Human-Computer Interaction using eye trackers for real time gaze interaction with of computer interfaces. In other words, one can control the computer simply by looking at the display. Please visit my gaze interaction blog for more information on the subject. Feel free to contact me if your working on related projects. |
On June 22nd I successfully defended my masters thesis on gaze driven at the Cognitive Science dept. at Lund University, Sweden. Check out the video demonstration or download the thesisNeoVisus Gaze Interaction (PDF, 3.3 Mb)
We live in exciting times. Science and technology is breaking new grounds more rapidly for every year that goes by.
The Internet and mobility revolution has created a point in human history that in a perspective will be noted
as before and after. Advancements in technology enables us to create new forms of communication and interaction.
The next generation systems will be aware the context we are in, what our intentions are and adjust accordingly.
I believe the next revolution will take place in interaction techniques. Instead of the traditional keyboards and mice we will
use our eyes, speech and touch to interact using natural human behavior. My bold intention is to be a part of this.

Growing up in the souther parts of Sweden my youth was filled with adventures into the digital domain. As a teenager I ran the Utopia BBS that connected computer users in the region. Around 1994 I got my first Internet connection and started making websites, which led to a number of projects and employments. In 2004 I enrolled with Lund University in Sweden for a degree in Informatics / Software design. In 2006-2007 I spent a year at the University of California, San Diego with a great opportunity to endeavor in Cognitive Science and Computer Science. Inspiring classes held by Jim Hollan (excellent blog) Mary Boyle, Marty Sereno and Andrea Chiba made an impact and changed my direction from enterprise systems to Cognitive Science and Human-Computer Interaction.
Besides science and technology I enjoy music which always been a big part of my life. The guitar is a natural companion on the many travels I've done to Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and the USA. It has a unsurpassed ability to bring people together and establish connections. By traveling I've spent time with very interesting people and been to exciting places that enrichens and broadens my perspective tremendously.
>Two of the things I enjoy the most, the ocean and dogs. While being in the Swedish army I had the opportunity to train for a diving certificate and have dived in many places in Australia and South East Asia. As a kid I fished and sailed during the summers and recently while in San Diego, California I learned (somewhat) to surf. There's something about dogs that I love. All they ever ask for is to come along to where you are going. I was involved in the volunteer based Hundis animal protection organization This gave me the opportunity to get to know a range of breeds and types of dogs that I took care of until a new family could adopt them.
