Abstract: The past few decades have seen phenomenal advances in computing technology, particularly in processing power, networking, and hardware miniaturization. However, our user interfaces to this technology remain largely stuck with the GUI and associated metaphors that were invented in the early 1970's. In this talk, I will discuss several current projects in my lab that are exploring interfaces for when the GUI and mouse are finally put to rest. These include the use of physical simulations and piling for pen-based interaction; techniques for interacting with information spaces using mobile handheld projectors; and interfaces for true 3D volumetric displays.
Biography: Ravin Balakrishnan is an Associate Professor and Canada Research Chair in Human-Centred Interfaces at the Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto, where he co-directs the Dynamic Graphics Project (DGP) laboratory. He is also a member of the Knowledge Media Design Institute (KMDI). His research interests are in Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and Interactive Computer Graphics. Prof. Balakrishnan earned his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Toronto, while concurrently working part-time as a researcher at Alias (now Autodesk) from 1997-2001. He is the recipient of several research awards and appointments, including the Bell University Laboratories Associate Chair in HCI at the University of Toronto (2002-present), a Premier's Research Excellence Award from the government of Ontario, and best paper awards at the ACM CHI 2005, ACM UIST 2004, and Graphics Interface 2005 conferences. Further information, including publications and videos demonstrating some of his research, can be obtained from www.dgp.toronto.edu/~ravin
