Current Projects
With the Fleet
I am presently stalled on my 3D naval simulation project, With the Fleet. If you are a coder or a 3D artist and would like to help me, please email me as tone@(this website's domain name). The project is based on Unity3D, with coding in C#.
This Wiki
I work on the Wiki, often creating new pages for British officers. This means reading Service Records for lesser personalities of the period, and adding to the lists of captains for the ships.
Music
I am not doing so much with it lately, but visit TonyLovellMusic.com. If you play cello, flute, violin or viola and live near Cape Cod, drop me a line!
Past Projects
Morse Code Communication via Mobile Devices
While working as Entrepreneur in Residence at Orange PLC, I created a Java applet and a mobile app (for the Danger Hiptop) that allowed the user to participate in hybrid Morse Code/text chats. I circulated a memo which illustrated the idea of developing a dedicated handheld device for such a throwback communication medium.
Semaphore-based Communication via Mobile Devices
Later, I followed that work up with an even more outlandish demo, in which a user can encode text by striking semaphore signalling poses.
