Research Interests:
The focus of my work is on the design and evaluation of augmented reality experiences, especially games and new media artifacts. Our work ranges from the design of underlying technologies and toolkits to support the design, implementation and evaluation of such experiences, through the design, creation, deployment and evaluation of the artifacts themselves.
By Augmented Reality, I explicitly mean systems and experiences that directly augmented a user or player’s perception of the world with spatially registered 3D media. In other words, overlaying graphics and sound directly and precisely on the world, rather than simply creating location-aware or context-sensitive media.
We currently use a wide range of technology in our work, ranging from high end computers connected to precise trackers, to handheld devices (including high-end smart phones like the iPhone, and development kits for next-gen devices). The experiences we design range from tabletop AR games through outdoor wide-area social experiences.
I am particularly interested in students who have a passion for using advanced technology to design, create and evaluate new kinds of AR experiences. My research group includes computer science, human-centered computing, HCI and digital media students. To support our research goals, we collaborate with researchers and students in computer vision, computer graphics, digital media, art and design (both at Georgia Tech and the Savannah College of Art and Design).
