Our HDCI projects are organized into 4 interaction modealities and technologies.

(1) Tabletop and Mobile Interactions (TM) -- Supporting collaborative visual computing.

(2) Immersive Env., VR/Mixed & AR (IMSV) -- Creating immersive explorations & insights.

(3) Tangible Interfaces (TUI) -- Exploring the inherent spatiality of the 3D data.

(4) Human-Robot iInteraction (HRI) -- Humans and robots in supportive collaborations.
