Responsibilities

I am a Professor in the Virtual Environments and Computer Graphics group in the Department of Computer Science, University College London. I am currently head of the group. My research area in real-time interactive virtual environments, with particular interest in mixed-reality systems, large-scale models and collaboration between immersive facilities. The group runs a CAVE-like facility. Details of my active projects can be found here.

I am first superviser for several doctoral students Danny Nahmias (writing up), Simon Pilgrim (writing up, sponsored by Electronic Arts), Russell Freeman (writing up), Will Steptoe, Vijay Pawar, Rama Vorray, Jeren Chen, Andrew Starling, Fotios Tzellos and Jason Drummond. I am also second supervisor to several others, Song Hu, Joel Jordan, Nick Dalton, Jesper Mortensen, Motjaba Bahrami (Geomatics), Andrea Kleinsmith (UCLIC) and Ilias Bergstrom (Opthamology). My teaching responsibilities can be found here.

I am the director of the Engineering Doctorate Centre in Virtual Environment, Imaging and Visualisation. I am responsible for external relations for the department and I am active in a number of technology transfer iniatives. I also consult to a small number of companies in areas related to graphics or new media.

Mel Slater, Yiorgos Chrysanthou and I have written a book on Computer Graphics and Virtual Environments: From Realism to Real-Time

In the academic year 2006-2007 I was on secondment to Electronic Arts in Guildford.


Announcements

Latency Tracking Matlab code, example data and example applications available here.

CAVE: If you are interested in following up the recent Guardian and BBC articles on the CAVE laboratory, please see this page, or contact David Swapp or I.

Jobs and Studentships: In 2009 I will be looking to recruit PhD and EngD students on topics related to immersive virtual environments, 3D interaction, distributed virtual environments, 3D games engines or large-scale rendering.

Pollution Monitoring: If you are interested in the recent New Scientist article about mobile monitoring of pollution levels and visualisation of spatial data, please visit this page. That project is now over, but we are still doing work on mobile interfaces.
