Richard Oren’s Summary
I have been working with application development since 1995.
I was a programmer and video editor for the GVOX Guitar interface and educational software which have won awards and the core technology we developed is world-class. We used Lingo and Director for the UI Creation. This system was revolutionary as it provided a way for guitarist to transcribe directly from their instrument to the computer. We also created learning software to accompany, “Riffs” and “Chords” & various titles highlighting specific artists in the Sony catalog such as "Beatles", "Police", "BB King" and "James Taylor".
Fender Musical Instruments endorsed the Gvox Guitar system and began to distribute. Fender even made special screws for mounting the Gvox system that were standard on all Fender guitars.
I was also lead developer for Entertainment Systems Technology developing the FunPad. The free-to-use device is a cross between a wireless public-access kiosk, a restaurant menu and a toy for future Jackson Pollocks who look at a restaurant table and see a canvas. It features an 8-inch touch-navigation screen and rubberized handgrips that vibrate for heightened effect. It also has two high-fidelity speakers, a joystick and game buttons, a video/still camera, a monochrome printer and--most importantly--a credit card reader for online purchases
I was founder of "Icon Media Inc." catering to the Automotive After-Market Industry creating various printed collateral and marketing pieces. Using only the finest lithographers in the business.
I have created Interactive CD-ROM titles for Yamaha creating the product configurator - the "Build Your Own" Royal Star CD-ROM.
I am currently working for Atomic Curve as Senior Software Engineer developing RIA's specializing in On-Demand publishing solutions, CMS, brand management and automating graphic production work flows. My current projects are www.branddoozie.com & pro.branddoozie.com.
