Steven K. Feiner and his lab explore how computers can assist people in performing skilled tasks at work and in play, individually and collaboratively. Feiner’s lab has been doing research on Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and wearable computing for over 25 years, designing and evaluating novel 3D interaction and visualization techniques, creating the first outdoor mobile AR system using a see-through head-worn display, and pioneering experimental applications of AR to fields such as tourism, journalism, maintenance, construction, and healthcare. Their work on 2D desktop and handheld user interfaces has developed novel approaches to effectively communicate information in a broad range of domains, from helping hospital patients understand their health records to assisting mobile users in map-based navigation.
