Martin attended a technical school for mechanical engineering in Austria. However, he never worked as an engineer; instead, he became a software developer.Earlier in life, Martin built many remote-controlled cars and planes.

As a software developer, most of his work with electronics involves a lot of coding, which he considers an essential part of “making”.

Martin is relatively new to the world of the Arduino, but he has already produced several fun projects.In our conversation, we explored many of these projects and also considered some very ambitious ideas for future projects.

In one of his projects, Martin used all his skills, electronics, coding, and art, to build Light Gary, a colourful creature with a clock and a head that lights up.In another project, with the help of Dario, a friend and electronics expert, he built a gadget that reminds him to drink his beer. The beer gadget consists of just four parts: a buzzer, an accelerometer, a clock, and a diode.

One of his current projects is Virtual City Windows, a system consisting of large high-definition video walls installed in cities worldwide. These systems enable two-way communications between any two cities, giving people a view into life around the world.Martin is also very much into virtual and augmented reality, and we spent some time looking into this exciting technology, including a headset that Martin is building.

I am sure you will enjoy this conversation.
