University of Otago
Our main focus isn't the computer as such - it is technology for users in society. We conceptually design, prototypically implement, and evaluate systems, in particular in Virtual and Augmented Reality, Mobile Systems, Videoconferencing, Health and Industrial Applications, and combinations of those.
