Graphics & User Interfaces

Team from Steven Feiner’s lab wins Grand Prize at NYC Media Lab Summit

“Travel in Large-Scale Head-Worn VR” teleports users through virtual environments by allowing them to determine orientation in advance. Another project, “Remote Collaboration in AR and VR Using Virtual Replicas” won a third place finish.

Exploring the acoustic nature of objects

In a step toward controlling vibrations, researchers have created an algorithm that automatically optimizes the shape of 2D and 3D objects to control the frequencies and amplitudes of the sounds generated when those objects vibrate.

Animating wet hair: Researchers model interplay of forces between liquid and hair

A Multi-Scale Model for Simulating Liquid-Hair Interactions describes innovations for capturing liquid onto hairs, modeling the flow along hairs, inducing cohesion, and enabling dripping.
