- Relational information visualization
is concerned with the presentation of abstract relational data,
in a visual form.
- The essential
idea in relational information visualization is that the user’s
perceptual abilities are employed to understand and explore the
relational structures.
- This work focused on developing efficient techniques for many
aspects of drawing large amount of relational data.
Web Engineering: Liquid Miro
- A fragment based system for the creation, dynamic linking, user
classification, link sorting and presentation of nodes of information
across a range of client device types.
MERL: Human Guided Antenna Design
- Human experts typically specify and refine antenna designs by
hand, using computers only to evaluate their candidate designs by
simulation.
- Automatic approaches are often based on simplified design problems
as the general task is often computationally intractable.
- This project focused
on building a patented human-guided interactive design system.
- Using a multi-parametric
visualization the user can explore the design space based on output
metrics.
Pervasive Computing
(Future)
- “The most
profound technologies are those that disappear. They weave
themselves into the fabric of everyday life until they are
indistinguishable from it.”
- Vision: To allow
people to use natural environments augmented with computational
resources that provide information and services when and where
desired.
Projects:
- Virtual and physical context aware smart meeting room
- Gesture based “Half-Pipe”
information display
- Context aware multi-model
personal assistant to act as augmented human memory
- Multi-user gesture based
smart personal assistants
- Multi-user ad-hoc networking
across and between Intelligent Environments
- Handheld displays as
virtual windows on 3D models
- Dynamic UI generation
from component announcement
- Adaptive user interfaces
for virtual collaboration.
Other projects (Present
and Future)
- Semantic softlinking
for the smart Internet: A project to investigate the use of temporal
ordered hyperlinks in a fixed hypermedia environment.
- JITT: A smart personal
assistant for just in time training. Here we will use context awareness
and learning workflows to ensure the timely and personalised delivery
of workplace documentation.
- Constructive Computational
Geometry: Based on the Art Gallery Theorem, can you take a set of
classified images and dynamically construct a simple room based
geometry where you can only see t images from any particular view
point.
