The Visual Interaction Design (VisID) research group in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Victoria is headed by Dr. Melanie Tory. Our primary research areas include visualization, human-computer interaction, and computer-supported cooperative work. The purpose of our research work is to design and evaluate visualization and interaction techniques that allow people to effectively analyze data and make decisions in various fields including medicine and engineering. Some of our current research projects include Collaborative Visualization, computer support for building design and construction, multidimensional data visualization and Casual Information Visualization.
