Gavin Duffy – Managing Director

Gavin has a background in geophysics and spent 10 years in industry and academia, working in Canada, Spain, Australia and Ireland. It was while researching how to extract 3-dimensional information from photography that he discovered the potential of gaming technology for real world 3D simulations. In 2008 he set up RealSim Limited, initially providing a powerful planning and communication tool to the planning and development community, but later expanding their services to the marine, archaeological, industrial and medical device sectors. Gavin also manages, RealSim Games which was established to commercialise RealSim's R&D in 3D apps and games.

He has brought this experience to bear in the modeling of real world environments and has to date applied detailed modeling and photo-realistic detail to many square kilometers of urban environments in Ireland. He was also the main graphic designer on the much acclaimed Secrets of the Stones RTE documentary, re-creating some of Irelands best known historical Christian sites.

Dr. Paul Smith

Paul completed his PhD at NUI Galway on Virtual Environments, interaction and computer graphics. He has more than 6 years experience in the use of C++ in game development and research and has worked on the development of a massively multiplayer online strategy game “Dark-Wind”, recently favorably reviewed on PC Gamer UK. Paul’s PhD involved the proof of application of real-time automatic facial expression recognition technology to online and remote work tools, where he developed a prototype emotion tracking software agent (ETA) and integrated it within an existing collaborative virtual environment in order to assess its benefits to online multitasking collaborating virtual teams.
