This research involves neurologists, The rapid emergence of psychologists, biomedical multimedia technologies and engineers, disability specialists, standards is causing an explosion human computer interaction and of media-rich applications. computer graphics researchers, However, state-of the art multimedia experts and industrial multimedia solutions are still designers. Our design philosophy taking a technology-centric view involves exploring fundamental rather than a problem-centric research issues at the convergence view. The future of innovative of neuro-cogno-info domains and multimedia solutions lies in incorporating this knowledge in understanding the needs of the the design of multimedia systems. customer with the ultimate goal of Three specific projects will be achieving symbiosis between the discussed: (a) design and human and the computer, development of assistive devices resulting in a human centered for individuals who are blind and multimedia computing paradigm. visually impaired to enable This requires a multi-disciplinary activities in daily living; (b) approach to understanding, developing virtual reality surgical designing and solving problems. simulation environments For example, the design of incorporating haptic (touch- 6 based) feedback and cognitive up company MotionEase Inc., training; and (c) rehabilitation which is focused on developing devices for individuals with video based motion capture movement disorders. solutions for rehabilitative applications.
