An idea by Mads Gram-Hansen led me to create this application.

Send to Kindle is an Android application, which can take almost any web page or document, transform it into something more readable and then send it to your Kindle. The application is built in Java, using the Android SDK.

To reduce the footprint of the application, and allow for fine tuning of the algorithm that transforms web pages into something more readable without having to update the application, the application itself is not responsible for transforming the web pages into something more readable. Instead, this is done in a webservice. The webservice is built using WCF and communicates with the application using JSON.

Below is a video of an earlier version of the app:

Next is a few screenshots of the application:

My master thesis on real-time conversion of directed acyclic graphs to polygonal meshes using the geometry shader.

The technique is comprised of two parts. One part which pre-processes the graph in an offline step, and the second part which converts the graph, in real-time, to a polygonal mesh in the geometry shader stage. Finally the mesh is tessellated using the Curved PN Triangles method, also done in the geometry shader stage.

Each node in the graph is described by a direction, a radius and a length.

The graph can be manipulated in real-time, making it possible to animate the graph, add new nodes to the graph or remove nodes from the graph.

Final project in the course Real-Time Graphics for Games and Virtual Reality at DTU.

Atechnique that utilizes displacement mapping in the vertex shader to render a huge terrain (endless through repetition) at a constant high frame rate. The technique is based on the principle of having a static grid mesh which always covers the view frustum and (almost) nothing more. The height of each vertex is then taken from a height map supplied to the vertex shader as a texture.

A game made at DADIU as a joint production. The game had to be controlled using only 4 keys and no mouse. Furthermore we were restricted to using the Source engine. The game was made during a period of 1 month.
