Research:

Contextualized Videos	We explore and evaluate visualization and interaction designs to support multi-video understanding inside complex buildings. Publications: Yi Wang, David Krum, Enylton Coelho, and Doug Bowman. “Contextualized Videos: Combining Videos with Environment Models to Support Situational Understanding”. IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics, (to appear in Oct 2007 issue) Download a draft version Watch a video describing the contextualized video testbed
GPU Cloth Simulation	GPU Based Interactive Cloth Simulation for Moving Avatars. To improve the cloth simulation performance, we proposed a level of detail (LOD) method to move part of the cloth simulation work to the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) on current graphics hardware. Publications: Download my MS Thesis.
Gaps Between Displays	Evaluation the effect of Gaps Between Displays on usability and performance within a CAVE environment. Publications: Yi Wang, Kunmi Otitoju, Tong Liu, Sijung Kim, and Doug A. Bowman, “Evaluating the effects of real world distraction on user performance in virtual environments.” In Proceedings of the ACM Symposium on Virtual Reality Software and Technology. ACM Press, pages19-26, 2006. Yi Wang, Kunmi Otitoju, Tong Liu, Sijung Kim, and Doug A.
