Garth Shoemaker

I received my Ph.D. from the University of British Columbia in 2010, and my M.Sc. from Simon Fraser University in 2000, both for research in Human-Computer Interaction. I have worked on fishtank VR, privacy-preserving display technology, large scale displays, and full body gestural input.
