Overview

3D user interfaces is an area of very active research within the IV/LAB. We are particularly interested in new creative applications of computing, for example, new methods for designing complex 3D mechanisms in engineering and new forms of 3D art practice. We think reenvisioning the way that we interact with computers, making it a more physical and intuitive process that matches our visual system's 3D capabilities, can be a major catalyst for enabling creative uses of computers.
