Bio:
Rob Lindeman joined the Department of Computer Science at WPI as an Assistant Professor
in Fall 2005 in support of the newly formed IMGD major. Prior to that, he was an
Assistant Professor in the CS Department at The George Washington University, where
he also earned his Sc.D. in 1999. He is the coordinator of the HIVE (Human
Interaction in Virtual Environments) Lab at WPI, and his research focuses on making
VR and games more usable and effective. He likes to build things, including new
interface devices and software frameworks. Evaluation through usability studies is a
key component to success in this field, as are the development of measures of
effectiveness, learning, and fun.
