I am particularly interested in data visualizations and user interfaces (with an aim to begin graduate studies in the field of "Human-Computer Interaction" in 2009). Listed below are projects (academic and professional) that I have been involved with that reflect my interest in HCI.

What's so Hard about 3D?
Most computer users are accustomed to viewing things in two dimensions, despite the great potential that three-dimensional visualizations have for a richer and more intuitive user experience. So why not 3D?
One problem with 3D is that, well, you can't just flip a switch and generate a 3D scene. Typically, you'll need to know how big all the objects are, where they are in the scene, etc. There's where "Unleashing Dynamic Data in 3D and Beyond" comes in.
