Consulting and development of a real time driving simulation solution by integrating HIL simulation system live data into a high end visualization and VR solution. Starting with requirement engineering, through architecture and development of now 7 releases I have worked on this project from the start. Focus was always on flexibility, performance and customization. It includes real time evaluation of data received from a simulation system and feeding into a VR scene through an SDK layer.

Platform independent C and C++11, parallelization

Qt, MVC

Wide variety of Boost libraries, specifically Boost Spirit & Phoenix to develop a domain specific language (DSL) that allows for flexible application of data into the scene graph

Python, CMake, git, Visual Studio

Atlassian Toolchain (Jira, Bitbucket, Confluence, Jenkins)

UML2, 4+1 model

In subsequent releases this project was further developed to adapt to more use cases and customer specific requirements.

Recording and playback of simulated driving sessions

Edit and modification of such recordings

Connection to further slave controlled machines to enable various simultaneous VR sessions upon the same data

More complex and stateful Domain Specific Language expressions

Track editor

Remote REST interface

Parallel data sources

Eye Tracking

This project realized a platform independent video solution to grab arbitrary desktop content and apply it to a interactive texture inside a VR scene in real time. The user inside VR can freely interact with that streamed content as if it were direct. In additional releases the software was extended with HTTPS / SSL transport layer encryption including client certificate verification and further multi platform adaptations. Specifically Linux.

Video Streaming

Motion JPEG, libjpeg, TurboJPEG, H.264

Service Discovery

C++, Boost, Qt Toolchain, Cmake, git, Visual Studio

OpenSSL, certificate validation

libX11

The system is being used by automobile industry to embed simulated instruments and devices such as on-board entertainment or driving assist electronics into a VR driving simulation.

This project focused on architecture, development processes, data modeling and interface design for a web application. Purpose was to display and visually modify edifice related data in a browser or tablet using HTML5 drawing technology.

Software architecture for a web application based on Java servlets and Spring

Design of a HTML5 / JavaScript based visualization for CAD based facility management data

data model (UML, Enterprise Architect)

Support of several teams while implementing with interface definitions

Help implementing the designed solution (Java, SceneJS, NodeJS)

My first task was analysis and performance optimization of a Java application server (Tomcat, Jetty) based asset management systems. This involved several analysis tools and methods, as well as profiling and subsequent counselling of the developer team.

After this was done I was assigned to the architecture, conception and development of a new framework for distribution of abstracted services (SOA). Special focus here was video streaming and server based rendering in order to enable web applications to directly consume backend rendered content. The product is today the third pillar in RTT's product portfolio and was named „PowerHouse“.

Requirement analysis and conception

Evaluation of possible base libraries and methods

Coordination of involved 3rd party component manufacturers

Development of the system core and network protocol layers (Boost.Spirit, Google Protocol Buffers), as well as several backend services

Cluster resource management

Conception of further services and a data distribution layer

Language neutrality of the abstracted services towards C++, Java and Python, C# bindings and web frameworks

Conceptional help with rich clients on iPhone, iPad, Jscript based devices, as well as Adobe Flash

Business logic encapsulation

Inclusion of the framework in other RTT products, such as PictureBook

Travelled the Australian continent on a 'working holiday' visa program.

Faced many interesting challenges and had many different jobs.

Worked on cattle stations in the vastness of the outback, as a gardener, labourer, on markets, in laundries, as a didgeridoo manufacturer, and even as a door-to-door salesman.

Demonstrated flexibility in dealing with people and confidence in sales negotiations.

These experiences are still a source of inspiration for me and an important part in my life.
