Dr. Robert Teather

Biography

Robert Teather received his PhD in Computer Science from York University in 2013 and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at McMaster University in 2015. His research broadly focuses on human-computer interaction, with specialization in 3D user interfaces and virtual reality, as well as user interfaces for computer games. His PhD work centered on developing standardized methods for the empirical comparison of input devices used in 3D interaction, primarily analyzing the differences between mouse and 3D tracker-based input methods. He established himself as an expert in comparing various input devices across fundamental interaction tasks, such as target selection, while considering different system configurations like display properties and system latency. His research interests also include areas such as input devices, interaction techniques within virtual reality, cybersickness, haptics, and mobile game control. Throughout his career, Dr. Teather has been actively involved in organizing academic conferences, serving as program chair for several major conferences related to virtual reality and 3D user interfaces.
