One important aspect of Ubiquitous Computing (Ubicomp) is being able to engage in dialogue with computers in various ways embedded in our everyday actions or behaviors. My research mission is to explore novel Ubicomp input techniques that are driven and grounded by well-defined design concepts, that provide reusable design examples and guidelines, and that eventually lead and contribute to emergent interaction paradigms. I am a master student in the Interactions Lab in University of Calgary, working with Prof. Saul Greenberg, I am also part of the Computational Media Design program, co-supervied by Prof. Richard Levy.

Visualization & Expressive Rendering (2009) - CAD/Graphics 2011 |
||||
|
Expressive City explores an expressive rendering approach with various styles integrated in a seamless way. Each view is a combination of photorealistic rendering, non-photorealistic rendering, and line drawing, so as to highlight the information that interests the users and de-emphasize the other that is less important. | |||
