Instructors
Stuart Card, a XEROX Research Fellow, manages the User Interface Research group
at Xerox Palo Alto Research Center performing research on theory and design of
interactive computing systems. Card is co- author of the ACM SIGCHI Curriculum
Report, and has instructed three tutorials at the CHI Conferences. Stephen G.
Eick, the Technical Manager of the Data Visualization Research Group at Bell
Labs, does research on extracting and visualizing latent in large databases
(abstract networks, software source code and text corpora) using novel
interactive visualizations. Eick presented tutorials on perception at SIGGRAPH
94, 95 and 96 and a software visualization tutorial at Visualization 93. Nahum
Gershon, a Principal Scientist at The Mitre Corporation, works on information and
data visualization, network browsers, image processing, data organization, and
analysis of medical, environmental and other multidimensional data. He explores
how knowledge of the human perceptual system can be exploited when designing
visualization systems.
