• Raspberry Pi (Cameras, Terminals, Servers, Clusters, Laptops. Games Consoles, Media Centers, Kiosks, Thin Clients)
• Microsoft Robotics Studio (Controlling Lego NXT based models, cars, sensors, motors, actuators, joysticks + pads)
• Microsoft XNA Game Studio (Experimenting with game development, coding methods in both XBox and Windows)
• Oculus Rift (User Interaction Theory)
• Reversible Coding Techniques and Design Principles
• Superdense coding techniques (Theory only) using Microsoft Q# and Blazor
