Illusioneering Lab wins ACM VRST 2020 Best Paper Award
Ph.D students Jerald Thomas and Courtney Hutton Pospick worked with Assistant Professor Evan Suma Rosenberg on this research.

Keefe's visualization work featured in American Scientist
CS&E associate professor Dan Keefe is working to create visualization tools to better describe the world by blending the languages of science and art.

New project creates 'first-ever traveling studio for indigenous co-design of spatial interfaces'
The project ‘Mixed Reality Spatial Interaction for Diverse Communities’ aims to get technology into community hands while accounting for pandemic restrictions.
Research in this area explores data visualization, non-photorealistic renderings, and perception in virtual environments. It draws from and contributes to work in algorithms, human perception, art, animation, computer vision, and image processing. Specific research thrusts in the department include information visualization, visualization of 2-D and 3-D flow data, multivariate visualization, non-photorealistic rendering, volume visualization, point based modeling and rendering, physically and perceptually-based image synthesis, color appearance design and reproduction, and the investigation of perceptual issues in virtual environments.
