Hi, I'm Tom Axblad.



I am a guy with an interest for graphics, programming, and VR. Visualization, graphics and algorithms are my primary interest within programming, making game development one of my most desired jobs.

I love working with games, VR, programming projects,and state-of-the-art technologies in creative ways to achieve ambitious goals. On my free time I love to read, play games, and develop personal projects. When I need a creative outlet I edit videos, draw, and cook.

If you are looking for a developer like me,
please send me an email.

Master Thesis
My thesis suggests a path tracing rendering system made for VR with eye tracking. This system is built and an evaluated to find the impact of foveated rendering on the frame rate between foveated and non foveated rendering.

Results show that depending on the features included and where the gaze point is located, foveated rendering provides an increase in frame rates between 1.59 and 10.22 times higher than the same system without foveated rendering.

Projects
Pyramid Compression
Pyramid Compression
The proposed compression algorithm is based on the idea of doing very simple compression on a file to facilitate parallel processing, compressing the result multiple times to create a layered compression. The algorithm creates more layers until the achieved compression is negligible. This project is written in rust to further develop my skills with the language.
Asters Planetai
Asters Planetai
In this puzzle game you play as a humanoid with the ability to rewind time to a fixed point and let see the previous version preform the run they just did. The game has 2D open-world free roaming, exploration, and puzzles. I was the lead artist and a programmer for the project.
Age of Garb
Age of Garb
AR game that let players take control over a drone using their phone to interact with an environment that was placeable on a surface. The goal was to create a playable field that would not be limited to a small surface such as a table or a set range on the ground. Instead we wanted the player to be able to define the size of the scene before they played in order to truly utilize the most of the potential available open space for the player. For this project I worked as project leader and code integrator.
Simmix
Simmix
SimMix is a collaborative 3D modeling software for virtual reality. It provides an intuitive interface for 3D modeling where the user easily gains an understanding of the entire three-dimensional object being modeled. It also allows multiple users to work on the same object and see each other's changes in real time, making collaboration effortless. I was the lead programmer for this project.
