Research
Daniel
Wigdor
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
My research lies in the area of Human Computer Interaction. My recent research has focused on understanding perceptual limitations which influence the design of present and emerging technologies, and the development of hardware, operating systems, and other software to meet those limitations. Additional interests include Computer Supported Collaborative Work, Information Visualization, Macro-Human Computer Interaction, Social Implications of Computing, and Ubiquitous Computing.
