Eugene is the founder of North Side Inc. of Montreal, Canada. Since 2001, Eugene has been leading the company’s R&D work in natural language understanding and natural language generation. North Side Inc.’s conversation pipeline will be first used in its forthcoming Bot Colony title; the development of this online adventure videogame started in October 2007. Eugene also leads R&D groups working on real-time 3D interaction and visualization (packaged in the Bot Colony simulation-driven game engine) and knowledge-acquisition. Eugene started writing his Bot Colony in March 2008, and the book should be published early December 2010. North Side is Eugene’s second entrepreneurial venture focused on human-computer interface. He founded Virtual Prototypes (now Presagis at http://www.presagis.com ) in 1985, where he invented VAPS, now the de facto standard for display design and automated software generation, as well as flexible simulation tools. On April 21, 1999 Eugene was inducted into the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum AW&ST; Laureate Hall of Fame as the 1999 Electronics Laureate, for causing a paradigm shift in display development and simulation in aerospace. Virtual Prototypes went public on TSE in July 1999, and was later acquired by CAE. Eugene’s long-range technology plan deal is concept animation, which means visualizing a concept described textually using real-time 3D graphics, and interacting with intelligent agents aware of their environment. |
