Predicting People’s Eye and Hand Movements
This week’s interview is with NASA Scientist Steve Ellis, PhD. Steve is a behavioral scientist by training and is currently working on some pretty incredible stuff in the realm of movement prediction and virtual environment simulation. He’s one of the first early investigators in the area of virtual environments to quantitatively study user behavior in virtual environments. His work has influenced and foreshadowed recent developments like that of the Oculus Rift and some of the technology incorporated into Intuitive Surgical’s da Vinci medical telerobot. I had the pleasure of working under him for about 5 years when I was in grad school.
