Duraiswami Perceptual Interfaces are concerned with extending human
computer interaction to use all modalities of human perception. Our current
research efforts are focused at including vision, audition, and touch in the
process. The goal of perceptual reality is to create virtual and augmented
versions of the world, that are perceptually identical to the human with the
real world. The goal of creating perceptual user interfaces is to allow humans
to have natural means of interacting with computers, appliances and devices
using voice, sounds, gestures, and touch. In both creating virtual reality, and in acquiring multimodal input from humans, our research emphasizes physics-based algorithms, efficient computation, and real-time implementations. Another portion of our research is concerned with
creating prosthetic devices for the vision and hearing impaired, by mapping
inputs from one modality into equivalent ones in another, so that
computationally augmented input streams can be created with extra content from
the missing modality. Affiliated Faculty | Synergistic
