Roelof Knol | developer projects

For the last 10 years i've worked on a diverse range of digital media applications. Interactive projections, Educational playful games, apps, AR, VR. In the role of developer I value the importance of stable, bugfree and well-written code. But just as important I want the works to be visually interesting and beautiful. 

I like when an project is more then 'just' a touchscreen. To integrate it into the physical world, via techonology, buttons, sensors, projections or custom made furniture. Another aspect i enjoy is experimenting with new hardware and trying to find a way to integrate them into new projects.

 

For YiPP i've worked on many different exhibits where i was responsible for:

• All parts of development

• Implementing and maintaining companywide reusable code

• Motion design, UI design/animations

• (On site) installation

• Working closely with designers making their screendesigns come alive

• Depending on the type of project i would also do parts of the design

• Experimenting & creating prototypes

Nearly all projects include interfacing with some kind of hardware. Examples being:

• Sensors/controllers (Encoders/buttons/sliders/RFID/NFC/spatial/touch/proximity)

• VR / AR / Mixed reality

• Cameras (webcams/kinects/realsense/leapmotion/various IR sensors)

• Lighting (DMX, ARTNET, pixelstrips)

• Screens(various combinations), LED-walls, projection mappings

• Physical structures, maquettes, curved surfaces, custom shaped tables
   

Unity (c#), git, shaders, photoshop, json, CMS integration, c++, android development, various API's
