Research Interests

The main theme of my research over my career has been the interaction between people and computers and how digital media can be used to communicate between people. I have a strong interest in interactive 3-D graphics and the production of graphics hardware that reproduces all of our visual cues. This is lead to research in light field displays and computational holography.

Over my career I have worked in many different areas including aspects of computer graphics, user interfaces, sofware engineering and computer security. I established the first Virtual Reality (VR) laboratory in Canada while I was at the University of Alberta in 1986. This laboratory had the first HMD in Canada along with the first CAVE. We also developed the first open source VR package; the MR Toolkit that was distributed to several thousand researchers world wide.

Some of the research topics that I have worked on in the past include interactive 3D graphics, automatic construction of user interfaces, authoring tools for virtual environments, computer animation, formal design methods for user interfaces, graphics display hardware and VLSI design.

Holography

Holography has been viewed as the ultimate display technology since it is the only known display technology that replicates all of our visual cues. This technology has largely been ignored by computer graphics researchers since it has been viewed as too computationally expensive and difficult to deal with. With the advances in computational power over the past decade this may no longer be the case particularly if we develop a new class of algorithms that take advantage of what we have learned in computer graphics.

When I became interested in holography as a display technology I found the literature to be hard to follow and quite confusing from a computer graphics point of view. I've been constructing a website Holography for Computer Graphics to provide a starting point for computer graphics researchers who are interested in holography.
