My research focuses on three-dimensional
user interfaces (3D UIs) and interaction techniques, and immersive virtual
environments (VEs). My research group (the 3DI group)
has recently been looking at information-rich virtual environments (IRVEs), the
benefits of immersion, and domain-specific 3D interaction. Much more information
is available on the 3DI group website.
My dissertation research concentrated on interaction
techniques for immersive virtual environments. In other words, I designed and
evaluated techniques by which users can perform tasks within a 3D virtual
world. I focused on common tasks such as travel
(viewpoint motion control), selection, and
manipulation.
