Giovanni Murru's Projects

I've done several projects and public oral presentations for the University involving robotics, control systems, artificial vision, object tracking, machine learning, image classification and recognition, neural networks and augmented reality systems.

Thesis

For my B.S. Thesis I developed jSisGA, a MySQL-based Java application for managing the seniors centres of Rome. The application has been tested on OSX, Linux and Windows. It is Open Source under the GPL licence.

For my M.Sc. Thesis I developed a software framework for augmented reality mobile apps and I used it to develop Nervar, an app that provides augmented reality content and information about the ancient Roman Imperial Fora. The work has been done in collaboration with the faculty of Architecture of Sapienza, at Rome. The app runs on iOS mobile platform and is available on the AppStore.

I published and presented a paper related to this work at the Conference of WSCG 2013, at Pilsen, in Czech Republic.

Recently I released Spirited Car, an 2d car racing game available for iOS and Android platforms. You can download and get more information about Spirited Car by visiting its official webpage.
