My name is Ole Holthe, and I am the author of these introductory courses in DirectX 11 Programming, Shader Programming, 3D Modeling in Blender 2.61, and PhysX Programming. I have been working with DirectX, shaders, 3D modeling and PhysX for the last 10 years. I have worked as a consultant for NRK, Telenor FoU, NextGenTel and FEDEM in Norway. I finished my PhD thesis on multimedia presentation for IP networks in 2010 at NTNU in Norway. I started Geelix in 2008 for teaching and assisting with design, development, and publishing of serious computer games with educational content and good ethical values.
Research and development:
My work is currently focusing on future grid-based computer game engines; collaborative game design and development; and remote play techniques. I focus exclusively on enabling serious computer games with educational content and good ethical values. Much of my work has been performed at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. I have also worked with University of California, Berkeley. My work is sponsored, entirely, by Gridmedia Technologies AS, with financial support from the Research Council of Norway. We are associate partners in the European Network of Excellence for Serious Games. I also serve as Vice Chairman and Secretary on the board of directors of the Norwegian Signal Processing Society.
