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.
