Author: Ernst Kruijff
I am a senior researcher at the Institute for Computer Graphics and Vision, Graz University of Technology.
My research areas are 3D User Interfaces (3DUI) for virtual and mixed environments, creative and experimental systems, human factors and ergonomics, collaborative systems, and a bit of robotics and mechatronics. I have coordinated multiple scientific projects and designed, developed, and evaluated a variety of 3D input devices and displays.
In addition I have taught courses at universities and conferences (including ACM SIGGRAPH and CHI) in the areas of 3DUI, virtual reality, modeling and animation, and general human-computer interaction themes, and supervised multiple students.
I enjoy investigating new ways of interaction that enrich our daily life, often leading to creative and experimental applications. I try to design interfaces for user experience, offering compelling ways to perform "normal" actions, or doing more extraordinary things. I have foremost worked on art/design environments (design and design review, museum applications), but nowadays also focus on a wider spectrum of interactive graphics applications, among others exploring environmental science and medical areas.
I have published a multitude of refereed publications and, together with Doug Bowman, Joseph LaViola and Ivan Poupyrev, authored the book 3D User Interfaces: Theory and Practice, published in 2005 by Addison-Wesley. Furthermore, I am actively serving a large number of programm and review committees.
I am a member of ACM, IEEE and igroup.
