Research interests

As a member of the Graphics and Data Visualisation group, part of the Knowledge Discovery, Management and Visualisation program, with the School of Computer Science, Engineering and Mathematics, Brett Wilkinson's research interests are focused on the visualisation and interaction with large geographically significant data sets. Through the development of a mobile, light-weight augmented reality system, he continues to investigate the issues of spatially remote data and how the knowledge generated from this data can be applied by a general user.

Other research interests include the implications of visualisation and manipulation of large data sets on small scale systems such as mobile phones and PDAs, and the presentation of Geographic Information Systems and other geo-referenced applications on similar devices and within a mobile, mixed reality environment.

Supervisory interests

  • Computer aided learning
  • Computer games
  • Computer graphics
  • Computer human interfaces
  • Computer simulations
  • Information and communication technology (ICT)
  • Information visualisation
