Virtual Worlds and Augmented Reality
Our research on virtual worlds is centered about the development of new metaphors for visualizing and interacting effectively with rich information spaces.

Side Effects

Modula-3 Information

 Information related to our current work in Modula-3, including the source to some packages we've produced. Currently not very complete until more of our software is thoroughly tested.

Interactive AR-Cam
View through CGUI Lab AR webcam We are testing an "AR-Cam" (Augmented Reality Camera) in our lab. The AR-Cam is a live, interactive video camera that is showing a simple Augmented Reality application that you can control over the net. Eventually, this application be made more fully interactive. Check back occasionally.

It will be live only sporadically, for the time being.
