With the recent emergence of a wide range of information displays that reach beyond the traditional graphics-based computer screen, it seems that the original definition of ambient display, and its focus on user attention and aesthetics, has become diluted. Instead, we propose a taxonomy of alternative information displays that is mainly based on context, in terms of the data it represents and ...

Human operators who use head-mounted displays (HMDs) in their work may benefit from auditory support. It is unclear whether auditory support is better delivered in free-field or via earpiece, and what the effect of walking is. To examine this problem, a novel multisensory integration task was created in which participants identified mismatches between sounds and visual information on an HMD. Pa...

Multi-display composition is a technique that enables several mobile devices to join together over a wireless network to form a larger logical display. This logical display can be created in an ad hoc manner for use when and where it is needed out of a group of users’ existing mobile computers. In this work we present a multi-display composition system and discuss our implementation that suppor...

The Universities Space Automation and Robotics Consortium (USARC) was established to promote research into robotics and telerobotics for remote applications. An important part of the work of the Consortium has been the design and implementation of the Telerobotic Construction Set (TCS), which enables the building of modular telerobotic networks. On-line and oo-line performance analyses are inte...

Volumetric displays, which directly draw 3D images in the real 3D space, are expected to be used not only in science but also in art. However, most of these displays need complex and expensive optical systems, so they are rarely used in art. In this paper, we propose and describe a volumetric display that has no such optical systems and can be easily constructed using parts on the market. In th...

With the introduction of mobile devices as well as large public displays, we are surrounded by multiple devices at nearly all times throughout the day. However, these devices are extremely heterogeneous regarding their input and output capabilities making it hard to seamlessly interact between them. In my dissertation work I explore novel interaction techniques that leverage the advantages of b...

Ribosome display is a cell-free system for the in vitro selection of proteins and peptides from large libraries. It uses the principle of coupling individual nascent proteins (phenotypes) to their corresponding mRNA (genotypes), through the formation of stable protein–ribosome–mRNA (PRM) complexes. This permits the simultaneous isolation of a functional nascent protein, through affinity for a l...

Avionics display systems using CRTs as core of the projection system suffer from reliability issues added to increased weight and cost of the associated circuitry. Though CRTs offer some advantages in the form of good brightness and contrast ratio even in the high ambient light conditions, recent advancement in microelectomechanical system (MEMS) based display technology ushered in an era of mi...
