Janusweb Tacoma Office
Before getting an apartment in Tacoma, I had the location scanned by a Matterport Service Provider. My wife and I then laid out all the furniture before we moved in. Click on the link to see a mostly current layout of our new home. Click here to learn more about our story!
A-10 in Janusweb
Created in cooperation with the JanusVR community of world builders, this virtual museum dedicated to the A-10 Warthog is a great way to learn. Click to explore!
This is an example of the work I’ve done in military simulation.
Immersive technology is a passion of mine for many reasons. First, as a young aviator, I found how difficult it can be without it. The simulator for my combat aircraft consisted mostly of paper placards. I struggled. Later as an instructor, I watched my students struggle. That is when I realized the power of immersive technology. I will never forget the first “light bulb” that I saw in a student’s face as he finally understood a difficult concept after using virtual reality. As a consultant I watched a young airman sweat bullets as his superiors drilled him on close air support techniques—the new simulator I had just delivered was training a young man that was shipping out that weekend to front lines. Beyond the severity of warfare, I have made connections with people I never would have encountered in reality. I’m proud that I have built worlds with people, and I will never know their real names. Immersive technology to me means learning faster, experiencing deeply, and understanding broadly. And, flying a tiny airplane over your cat and under the kitchen faucet is a special kind of joy.
