| Research Interests and Current Projects |
Most recently, my research interests have focused on stereoscopic displays. Matt Dunbar, Steve Egbert, and I have a related paper coming out soon in the Journal of Geography. The paper centers on a focus group analysis of faculty members' thoughts about the use of the GeoWall for teaching and is entitled "Evaluating the Potential of the GeoWall for Geographic Education." Other research interests include virtual environments, animation, and data exploration. |
