Reverse engineering devices for which existing documentation is sparse, with an eye towards resurrecting those designs with modern parts and/or emulating them via software with skeumorphic interfaces. Interfacing vintage computers and synthesizers with mordern hardware, including archiving data stored in unusual formats. Creating custom controllers for unique video games that do not map well to more common controllers, so that these may be authentically played via emulation. Developing arcade-style cabinets that allow modern audiences to experience early computer games in a convenient fashion amenable to modern usability expectations. Designing novel elctromechanical games with integral tangible elements that cannot be effectively experienced on conventional portable or desktop computing devices.
