Immersive Interfaces & Virtual Environments

An interesting experiment will be to make the display presentation depend on where we look.
    — Sutherland, I. E. (1965). The ultimate display. Multimedia: From Wagner to virtual reality.

The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.
    — Gibson, W. (1984). Neuromancer New York. Ace, 9.

My interest in Immersive Technology began in 1997 as an undergrad studying a combination of Photography and Computer Science at The University of Pennsylvania. I wrote a senior seminar and project (below) using Web3D graphics in a browser. I am returning to immersive technology as a research focus as part of my doctoral studies at Nova Southeastern University.
