Motion for information display
Motion can be a powerful cue for attracting visual attention. At present it is mostly used in ways that distract rather than enhancing information displays.

Representation of surface shape using texture
We are studying methods for using oriented textures to best represent surface shape

	How should we map data to a visual representation? One way of approaching this problem is to apply what we know about human perception to the problems of information display.

The idea of the geon diagram is to apply structural object recognition theory to constructing diagrams. Our experiments show that geon-based diagrams are much easier to analyze and remember than equivalent UML diagrams.
