Selected papers (2002-2024) by focus area:

Over the past 22+ years, the Four Eyes Laboratory has innovated, with significant impact, in at least four major, interrelated research areas that emerged from Prof. Höllerer's research interests:

  • Augmented reality user interfaces
  • Computer vision in support of eXtended Reality
  • Immersion and displays
  • Visual analysis and decision making
The following four groups of references present a subset of the lab's more highly cited papers within these four categories. Brief summary commentary is provided here.
