Simon McCallum
Om
I am a New Zealander living in Norway. I started programming games at the age of 10 on a ZX spectrum, and did my first commercial programming at 16 (an invoicing system for a local hardware store). I studied at the University of Otago majoring in Computer Science with accompanying Mathematics, Psychology, and Philosophy. In 2007 I moved to Norway to work commercially as a game developer in a small startup company. After 2 years of working in various companies I returned to academia in 2009 and now work for NTNU.
My research is focused on:
- Serious Game, particularly Games for Health.
- Professional Programming
- Virtual Reality
- Asking good questions "Questions explore the future, answers record the past"
- Traction Trebuchet (Medieval Seige Weapon from the 9th century)
