Keynote: Using Eye-Gaze for Design and Art in VR
by Dr. Mayra Donaji Barrera Machuca, VERTEX Lab, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Canada
Bio: Dr. Barrera Machuca is an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Computer Science at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada. Her current research areas include using multimodal interactions for 3D sketching and understanding human performance with virtual objects. She also proposes new user interfaces that improve the accuracy of people working inside virtual environments and studies skill transfers between virtual reality and real life. Dr. Barrera Machuca’s work has generated considerable interest in the community, including winning the 2021 VGTC Virtual Reality Best Dissertation Award.
