ComingOut is an interactive installation which deals with ethics.
By answering questions the "players" either get evil or good, depending if their answers correspond to the general opinion.
At the same time, the answers also influence what is the "correct" answer. Therefor it reflects how rules in society develop. It important for us to show that the ethical rules in society are always relative and also change over time.
In my fifth term of my course in hagenberg me, a colleague of mine (ladyk.net) and a cooperating team of three other students developed a GUI fingerprint verification application under Linux. Our part was to design and implement the GUI, which was done with wxWidgets and openGL.
During internship in 2006 at the research departement of the course information-design at fh-joanneum I developed the GMouse - which should be a mouse substitute. You can move the mouse by pointing with your hand, and click by bending a finger. Therefore I used a magnetic Polhemus Tracker to the 3D position of the hand and a data glove to recognize if a finger is bended.

In my 4th term at FH Hagenberg in Austria the "paintstation" was created. In a team of 7 we developed this virtual graffiti station, which allowes the user to spray virtually on every wall on this earth.
We used technologies like the openCV for tracking a infra-red point, wxWidgets for the GUI and openGL for painting.
