Ben Clayton graduated with a MEng in Computer
Science from Bristol University in June 2002, and was offered
the position of Research Assistant in the university’s
wearable computing research laboratory in September 2002. Ben
joined the Mobile Bristol project in February 2003 as a developer,
still under the employment of the University.
His main responsibility is the design and implementation
of a windows-based editor suite which makes it easy to build location-aware
applications. The aim of this work is to enable non-technical people
to be capable of designing and building advanced mobile applications
with minimal tuition. A further research topic is how to represent
the inaccuracies of real-world sensors such as the Global Positioning
System in the virtual world.
Ben also works with Richard Hull and Tom Melamed
on the development of the application framework, which forms
the foundation of the editor system. His main areas of experience
are in user interface programming and game development.
