Research Interests:

My research revolves around the evaluation of Reality-Based Interaction (RBI). I believe that we need to have evaluation mechanisms in place, both quantitative and qualitative, that provide various measures of usability and user experience, as they now exist (at least for usability) for WIMP interfaces. These evaluation mechanisms must allow comparisons between the different constituent interaction styles that belong to the RBI umbrella, so that different solutions may be compared. Thus, my research aims to provide such evaluation mechanisms, that are interaction style-blind, so that evaluation results from different interfaces designed in different interaction styles may be compared.
