MS Dissertation title: Cue integration and competition during navigation
Area of MS research: My thesis used a head-mounted display and examined how environmental and internal cues to navigation are used when naviagting to previously visited locations. It was found that cues are combined in a Bayesian optimal manner when there is a small conflict between cue-indicated correct locations but that internal cues are preferred over environmental cues when they are in large conflict.
Employment upon graduating:
Ames, Iowa
What HCI classes were invaluable to my success?
HCI 521, HCI 574X, HCI 580
Favorite graduate school memory: Getting to know my fellow classmates.
HCI issues that interest me: Applications of virtual reality to research and user experience research methodologies.
A website recommend, and why: http://online.wsj.com/news/technology
The WSJ technology page, All Things Digital, helpful when trying to stay generally informed about technology news and innovations.
