Author: Norman G. Vinson
Dr. Vinson joined the NRC Institute for Information Technology in 1996 as an Associate Research Officer. His research interests include human-computer interaction (HCI) and spatial cognition; his current focus is on human-computer interaction of 3D interfaces and virtual reality and on research ethics. Dr. Vinson is currently developing design principles to support human navigation in both real and virtual 3D spaces.
Before joining NRC, Dr. Vinson was with the Corporate Design Group (CDG) at Bell-Northern Research (BNR; now part of Nortel Networks) from 1995 to 1996. While at BNR, Dr. Vinson worked on service concepts for broadband communications. Part of his duties included user-interface design.
While at Carnegie Mellon University, Dr. Vinson worked on spatial cognition and psycholinguistics.
