"Cyberspace. A consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate operators, in every nation, by children being taught mathematical concepts... A graphical representation of data abstracted from the banks of every computer in the human system. Unthinkable complexity. Lines of light ranged in the non-space of the mind, clusters and constellations of data. Like city lights, receding..."

VR has progressed significantly since it's conception, enabling previously impossible applications such virtual prototyping, telepresence, and augmented reality.

While Williams Gibson's vision may still be some way off, there can be no denying that immersive virtual environments hold great potential which are now capable of harnessing.

My research focuses on exploring interaction within virtual environments using hardware such as data gloves, head trackers, and head mounted displays. I am currently concentrating on data entry techniques, and the interesting difficulties faced while attempting to enter data in immersive environments where standard keyboards are not accessable. more
