It is impossible to collect all ideas that involved me in last 12 years… So, this page it is just a way to put in evidence some recent and working stuff.

Seriously talking I’m mainly focused on designing k-humans in Kallideas. I’m also a partner in SrLabs (R&D company focused on eye-tracking technologies and disability support).

Do you think that I have more free time? well… just the time to lead web community, launch a mash-up, co-design a game, and some other stuff. :DD

OpenSpime: an Open Internet of Things

OpenSpime is a tecnology developed by WideTag Inc, a company that I ideated and co-foudend together with Roberto Ostinelli and David Orban.

Photoshakr!

A bunch of us (2.0 geeks or bored Flickr users if they prefer), has realeased a cool Flickr mash-up to embed and shake your own Flickr photos.

PhotoShakr lets you embed your Flickr photo in a neat and fun way. Among the features the chance to read photo notes and, if the photo has the EXIF data enabled, to check for the used camera together with a link to that camera on Amazon.

..

“Presentation Mode” - We detest powerpoint! Photoshakr it could be a great way to performe ONLINE presentations. Also John Maeda was stunned about our scenography for his italian conference “Meet the Media Guru” in Milan. See it NOW!

“Hidden Features” - We included in Photoshak a magic feature: new stuff will appear without any update of your photo pool. We called this approach “hidden features” :)

..

This photo-pool collect too many pictures and it is pretty slow, but it is a funny way to talk about myself. This is my portfolio. PRESS “G” or “B” or “V,H” or “SPACE”! :))
