Title:   Human Computer Interaction Studies in the Wedge Theatre

Abstract:
  In the context of Human Computer Interaction studies in virtual
  reality, this talk will describe a recent experiment concerning
  line drawing in three-dimensions. There is tantalising evidence
  that this experiment might have uncovered a fundamental 
  principle of interaction design. Even if it hasn't, it has been
  a lot of fun trying as well as a great exercise in research-led
  education (and education-led research).


Biography:
  Henry Gardner is a senior lecturer in the Department of Computer
  Science and a Visiting Fellow in the Departments of Theoretical
  Physics and the Plasma Research Laboratory, RSPhysSE. He is
  co-inventor of the Wedge virtual reality theatre. He has
  directed the "Computational Science and Engineering Education"
  and the "eScience:Applications and Technology" projects in the
  Department of Computer Science. His published work in education
  and research has contributed to plasma physics, virtual reality,
  human computer interaction and computational science.
