Tobias Höllerer

Tobias Höllerer is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he leads a research group on Imaging, Interaction, and Innovative Interfaces. Tobias holds a graduate degree in informatics from the Technical University of Berlin and MS and PhD degrees in computer science from Columbia University. He is a recent recipient of the National Science Foundation's CAREER award, for his work on "Anywhere Augmentation", which enables computer users to place annotations in 3D space wherever they go, employing the physical world as user interface. Beyond this, Tobias's main research interests lie in virtual reality, 3D displays and interaction, visualization, mobile and wearable computing, and adaptive user interfaces.
