Writing on software, design, and companies
Some of the things I've written. Throughout the years, I've written about cognitive science, software development, design, and about unrelated things. I periodically revisit the articles I written and am very much open to all type of feedback to improve both my writing, but mainly my thinking. I hope you find something interesting here.
The Novel vs. The Screenplay: Se7en
I wrote about the differences in recognition between screenwriters and novelists, highlighting how often fade into the background while directors and actors take the spotlight. Using Se7en as an example, I discussed how Andrew Kevin Walker’s script went through multiple rewrites before becoming the neo-noir classic we know today. Despite its flaws, the novelization of Se7en holds personal significance for me, showing how a good story can transcend its medium.

Crosstalk in Stereoscopic Displays - Why 3D Movies Look Weird
Remember 3D TVs? Remember how the TV manufacturers tried to ship the idea of wearing goggles at home while watching TV, so you could experience that Avatar-style novelty from the comfort of your own couch? Although the idea 3D television is pretty much dead now, and everyone is more focused on the possibilities of AR and VR, I would not call 3D a dead technology yet. After all, cinemas are still pushing 3D movies and if we eventually crack the method for building glassless 3D televisions we could maybe even see the second coming of 3D at home. 3D has just been forgotten, a faith it has endured once before as well.
