Research

The largest portion of my time is dedicated to research work on different projects. My research interests and expertise include:

• computer graphics and virtual environments
• human factors and presence in VR
• virtual humans
• game-based systems
• multiuser communication and collaborative environments
• evaluation of learning and training effectiveness in computer supported environments
• use of sensor technologies on physical training ranges - bringing analog information (training on a physical range) into digital domain
• projections on irregular surfaces
• coupling emerging technologies with systems for training and learning
• validation of simulated human behaviors
• design of novel training methodologies and pedagogies in support of learning and training with simulations and game-based systems
• diffusion of innovation: design, dissemination, deployment, and the use of simulations and game-based systems for learning and training in the context of needs exercised by the majority of potential users (large scale adoption issues)
