Real-time interaction

My current research in this area focuses on collaborative virtual environments (PhD student Trevor Dodds) and developing an interface toolkit for large, ultra-high displays (PhD student Chris Rooney).

I have also published a series of papers about methods of interacting with virtual humans in both single-user and collaborative virtual environments, and performed research into bioinformatics data visualization, a virtual environment for nano-engineering, and helped develop a virtual ballet dancer.
