Research summary
AI-generated

Voicu Popescu works on computer graphics, virtual and augmented reality, and related human-computer interaction problems. Recent work focuses on making VR haptics more realistic through 'redirection' techniques that trick users' perception of touch, improving remote collaboration and viewpoint tools in VR/AR, and studying how extended reality (XR) can be used to teach subjects like AI and other STEM topics. The group also publishes on lower-cost or lower-latency ways to deliver VR experiences, such as cloud-based and 360-degree VR systems.
