The Advanced Interfaces Group focuses on building improved
human-computer interfaces through its research in virtual environments
and collaborative visualization systems. This is grouped into three
major themes:
- design and implementation of novel software systems to
support complex, real-world applications of virtual environment
technologies and distributed, collaborative working between
geographically dispersed teams and individuals
- exploration of
fundamental techniques and algorithms to improve methods for display
and interaction with 3D computer models, such as using computer vision
for unencumbered interaction, or using the latest graphics cards for
very high-speed computations and display of complex models
- applications of technologies and techniques, in collaboration with
companies and researchers from other disciplines, to test that the
systems developed really work. The group has an established record of
publishing its results, releasing software under the GNU GPL, and
licensing to companies.
