Author: Matthew Conway
Ph.D
Dr. Matt Conway is a pioneer in the development of easy to use tools for building virtual environments. His PhD work at the University of Virginia was on Alice: Interactive 3D Graphics Programming for Novices. This resulted in the production of the Alice toolkit, a powerful scripting language for the programming of interactive 3D virtual environments. Alice is freely available from http://www.alice.org/ and is used as a teaching and development tool in many universities. In addition to developing Alice, Matt was involved with developing a number of interface metaphors for immersive virtual environments, including the "Worlds in Miniature" technique, 3D Magic Lenses, and Image Plane Interaction techniques. After completing his PhD, Matt joined the User Interface Research Group at Microsoft Research where his work on 3D user interfaces contributed to six patent applications. Most recently he was the program manager of ClearType Technologies in the eBook Group of Microsoft, developing the ClearType technology which is now shipped with the Windows XP and CE operating systems.
