Research

We study visual technologies that move us: how digitally created imagery affects human emotion, thinking and behavior. Below we index our work by several related fields.

User experience

Simulating the flying experience for treating phobias, testing spatial and wayfinding ability, relating stress to mobile security, visual communication, course projects and currently, gaming experience and the relationship of UX to machine learning.

Computer graphics

Controlling visual fidelity and frame rates, foveated rendering, simplification, low latency rendering, procedural urban modeling, course projects and currently, multiview rendering.

Visualization

Depicting text, graphs, network traffic and urban commuters for retail, genealogy, security, search and sustainability. Also, visual communication, mobile visualization and currently, categorical visualization.

Human-computer interaction

Latency and foveation in virtual reality; fidelity for simplification; tangible and tabletop interfaces for education, assessment and training; mobile search, security and sensing; and currently, shortcutting for desktops and mobiles.
