Research Interests

* Graphics * Vision * Augmented and Virtual Reality * Visualization * 3D Interaction

Mudur's interest in computer graphics started with his undergraduate thesis project in 1969. Since then he has been actively researching the field of computer graphics with focus on graphics systems, geometric modelling, photo-realistic rendering, animation and virtual environments. More recently his research covers the areas of object reconstruction from 3D scans and GIS data, appearance modeling, virtual and augmented reality environments, and applications in CAD/CAM and entertainment.
