Naval Research Laboratory, Tactical Electronic Warfare Division 1991—1996. Director of the TEWD Virtual Environment Laboratory. One of the founding research scientists and principle investigator on the Human-Simulator Interaction project. Directly involved with the initial laboratory configuration and equipment pro-curement. Defined the general research agenda for the laboratory. Individual work involved broad-based re-search in virtual environments and user interface technology, investigating real-time immersive interface software architectures, and wayfinding and navigation in virtual spaces. Lead scientist on the Virtual Com-mand and Control Workstation project which is investigating ways in which virtual environment technology can be applied to shipboard operations. Member of the NRL Human Subjects Committee.
Naval Research Laboratory, Information Technology Division summer 1991. Member of the Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory. Developed a user interface for a real-time software specification language which re-quired management and navigation of large graphs.
The George Washington University 1990—1991. In the early stages of the department’s computer graphics and an-imation program, designed and built a system for control of computer-generated animations. The system used办公自动化系统论文
a scripting language (similar to a primitive Renderman Interface Bytestream) to specify the visual characteris-
tics of each frame and provided an X Windows-based wireframe previewer to view the resulting motion. The system was later replaced by a Renderman-compliant system.
University of Illinois at Chicago spring—summer 1990. Designed a system for the visualization of n-manifolds on a Connection Machine. Initially ported a serial version of the system to the Connection Machine and later added interactive capabilities. The system was written in C* from a Sun Workstation front-end. A hyperplane was in-teractively passed through an n-manifold resulting in a three-dimensional visualization of the intersection. Argonne National Laboratory summer 1989. Built a system for on-line searching of mathematical libraries. A sys-tem was developed to browse and search the available mathematical libraries on the Cray X-MP to assist non-programming scientists in building software tools for data analysis.
