Selected Publications


Research Projects:

Computational Epidemiology Research at UI


HANK, our immersive virtual bicycling and driving simulator for use in studying human behavior and VE validation.

The Iowa City UNESCO City of Literature project mobile app (free download from iTunes store)

Virtual historical environments This Old Digital City. Officially called Timequest, the project created a real-time immersive virtual historical environment in which visitors to Cedar Rapids' History Center can explore the city as it was 100 years ago. An variant of the exhibit was on display at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History in summer 2002.

The National Advanced Driving Simulator and Simulation Center: dynamic terrain for real-time off-road ground vehicle simulation, database modeling, and scenario control

Iowa Driving Simulator (no longer operational, as of 1/00) scenario control and experiment authoring for real-time operator-in-the-loop virtual environments. Work in cooperation with Iowa's Center for Computer Aided Design.

Programming environments for development of physical systems simulators. Originally had close ties to larger-scope SimLab project at Cornell University: SimLab project at Cornell.
