published in Personal and Ubiquitous Computing. Springer London.
Sport is a domain full of movement-based interactions. These interactions typically have positive health effects as well as an impact on social bonding. We have investigated ways in which computer augmented devices can lead to new sport experiences and explored opportunities to combine physical activities with remote social bonding.

Proceedings of CHI 2007, San Jose.
Jogging over a Distance consists of two identical systems, each with a miniature computer, a Bluetooth GPS device, a wireless modem, a mobile phone and a headset. Each system is carried in a small, close fitting backpack while the user jogs.

Proceedings of Australian Computer Music Conference, Adelaide, Aust, 2006.
This paper describes an algorithmic drum perform-ance device for musical expression. The idea is to provide maximum variation and dynamics with minimal input. An algorithm programmed into a PIC micro-controller acts as the 'brains' of the device taking data from inputs and forming an equation with the variables, outputting the result to an audio drum chip.
