Hi, I'm Joshua Klenk

a computer science student focusing on gameplay programming, AR experiments, and interactive systems. I'm currently working toward my B.S. in Computer Science at Fairleigh Dickinson University.

Recently I've been working in Unity for an AR haploscope I'm helping build for a near-field depth perception study.

About me

I like to spend most of my time building things through code, hardware, or whatever the project calls for. I enjoy troubleshooting technical problems, experimenting with AR/VR, and making systems that feel good to use.

Location:Lebanon, NJ
Education:B.S. Computer Science — FDU (Expected May 2026)
Research:AR Haploscope — Near-Field Depth Perception
Interests:Game development, AR/VR, 3D printing, hardware tinkering, guitar

Featured Research

AR Haploscope — Near-Field Depth Perception

Collaborative research at the FDU AR/VR Lab

Hardware iteration phase — preparing for human subjects trials

Haploscope hardware on the optical bench

Co-developing a custom tabletop AR display using collimated and diopter lenses to study vergence–accommodation conflict and depth judgment accuracy. The work targets problems directly applicable to AR-assisted surgery and precision industrial systems.

I engineered the Unity rendering pipeline for stereoscopic stimulus presentation, and built calibration and stimuli-alignment tooling in Python with OpenCV. The experimental protocol — measuring depth judgment of occluded virtual objects against real-world targets.
