About
Welcome to evaluatingdesign.com, the online portfolio of Carl F. Smith. The pages within detail my research and design experience over the past 5 years.
Specific examples of analyses and design used in the creation of new interfaces can be found in the design section, including examples of mobile devices, automotive displays, and runway incursion warning systems.
Information regarding my research background can be found in the research section. This section details various research projects that I have been involved in, as well as a few current projects in the lab. Much of my funded research has been in aviation; more recently, I have been investigating several issues in the gaming domain.
