I am motivated to create interactive digital experiences by fusing design, art and technology. I come from an Informatics Engineering background with a keen interest in design with a rich user-experience. I feel like an inter-gineer, who develops interactions using engineering as a tool. My area of interest is Human-Computer-Interaction with inputs from Mixed Reality, Multimodal Interaction and Physical computing. I am based in Bengaluru, India.
My name is Anirudh Sharma, i like to think of awesome ideas, and build them as well. I am a self-learnt designer, carpenter, electronics hobbyist, and photographer.
At present i am working as a Research Consultant at Hewlett Packard Labs in the Multimodal Interactions Group.
My formal resume with work, research publications, IP, collaborations can be accessed here.
I am also awed by what FOSS and hacker culture has been capable of doing to the world in the last decade.It has paved a way so that many can participate, into research, into building their ideas, realizing dreams, and most importantly building a better world around us. I am one of those benefited people.
My roots are in Rajasthan and Delhi. My father retired as Professor of English from University of Delhi, raised in a family of farmers in a small village in Mathura, UP. My environment naturally taught me to tinker, adopt new ideas, and build stuff.
I appreciate the FOSS/tinkering spirit. i’ve talked at some conferences (foss.in, rajasfoss, fossgn09). Consequently, I started a LinuxUserGroup in Rajasthan with my classmate shreekant bohra, a zen follower, currently building his own startup. Today LUGB is a fairly large active FOSS group in North India working with several regional communities to support OLPC.
In past, during college, I worked independently with our team to create immersive experiences for wide audience that captured their imagination. Some of my documented work is accessible on the Portfolio page.
I am open to collaboration with new ideas if they’ve anything to do with keywords like (amazing, assistive, interactive, open-source, sensorial, haptic, multimodal). Feel free to ping me on the contact page.
I hangout on #freenode, IRC with nickname: touchaddict
