My research is focused in using multi-paradigm programming to solve accuracy issues on User Interactive System, especially in Virtual and Augmented Reality. This research uses dependency relationships between loosely coupled components. We use techniques of Functional Reactive Programming and Change Propagation to identify how a change may cause additional modification in other several components and force the systems to wrap all these modification in a single update cycle. This research resulted in a design pattern that was applied into User Interfaces, Virtual Reality and it can be applied on many other research fields. I am also currently interested in research about CS Education and Accessibility technologies especially focused on education and autonomy.
