Research into Navigation, Collaborative Interaction, and Gigapixel Displays

Abstract

Research by the Visualization & Virtual Reality Research Group (School of Computing, University of Leeds, UK) includes themes that focus on navigation, collaborative interaction, and gigapixel displays. The group also carries out research into visualization techniques and systems, including new systems technologies for visualization, and tools for investigating features within large datasets. This article summarizes that research and describes current projects that are taking place: Virtual trails to aid real-world navigation, Mobile geophysics, Communication breakdown in collaborative VR, Cancer diagnosis with a VR Microscope, Visual analytic interfaces for optimization, and Overlays for graph exploration.
