Current Work

Interactive Graph Visualisation with Haptic Feedback
  For his PhD thesis, Colin is investigating techniques for interacting with a graph drawing in a way that feels as natural and realistic as possible in order to provide a much greater foundation for understanding the information that is being represented. This involves the application of physical properties to a graph drawing and the communication of these properties to the user via a haptic interface.
