User Interfaces for
Collaborative AR and VR
How can we build 3D user interfaces that help people
collaborate more effectively? I will present
research by the Columbia University Computer
Graphics and User Interfaces Lab that explores the
design and implementation of collaborative AR and VR
environments. The experimental systems that I will
discuss use different kinds of head-tracked eyewear
and address a wide range of task domains, from
remote maintenance assistance, to urban
visualization, to motor rehabilitation. All were
developed with our open-source Mercury Messaging
toolkit for Unity (https://github.com/ColumbiaCGUI/MercuryMessaging),
which supports cross-component communication among
scene objects within and between computers.
Bio
Steve Feiner is a Professor of Computer Science at
Columbia University, where he directs the Computer
Graphics and User Interfaces Lab. His lab has been
conducting virtual reality (VR), augmented reality
(AR), and wearable computing research for over 25
years, designing and evaluating novel 3D interaction
and visualization techniques, creating the first
outdoor mobile AR system using a see-through
head-worn display and GPS, and pioneering
applications of AR to fields as diverse as tourism,
journalism, maintenance, construction, and medicine.
Steve received an AB in Music and a PhD in Computer
Science, both from Brown University. He is a Fellow
of the ACM and the IEEE, a member of the CHI
Academy, and the recipient of the ACM SIGCHI
2018 Lifetime Research Award, the IEEE
ISMAR 2017 Career Impact Award, and the
IEEE VGTC 2014 Virtual Reality Career Award.
He and his students have won the ISWC 2017 Early
Innovator Award, the ACM UIST 2010 Lasting
Impact Award, and many best paper awards.
Steve has served as general chair or program chair
for over a dozen ACM and IEEE conferences and is
coauthor of two editions of Computer Graphics:
Principles and Practice.
