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), Vijay Pawar
(writing up), Jeren
Chen, Andrew Starling, Jason Drummond, Jozef Dobos and Pan Ye. I am also
second supervisor to several others, Song
Hu, Joel Jordan and Nick Dalton. My
teaching responsibilities can be found here.
I am currently deputy head of department. I am the director of the Engineering Doctorate Centre in Virtual
Environment, Imaging and Visualisation. Previously I was
responsible for external relations for
the department and I remain 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.
I have co-authored two books. Networked
Graphics by myself and Manuel Oliveira was published in
2010. Mel Slater, Yiorgos Chrysanthou and I wrote 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.

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 2010/2011 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.
