Robert Swirsky

[citation needed] After graduating, Swirsky worked on projects ranging from aircraft avionics to one of the first all-software digital radio receivers for a VLF submarine application.

His work made him a participant in many industry standards committees, such as TWAIN, and he was a frequent speaker and contributor at ACM SIGGRAPH events.

In 1998, Swirsky began working for Walt Disney Imagineering R&D as Director, Creative Technology,[3] under Bran Ferren, developing electronic games and digital imaging systems.

He developed technology to play interactive games synchronized with live television shows, and electronic toys including Disney's Magical Moments Pin.

A popular freeware program, Callipygian 3D, is widely used and has been featured on TechTV's The Screen Savers show several times, with Swirsky demonstrating it.
