Scott Stevens

Teaching Professor

Scott is senior systems scientist in the Human-Computer Interaction Institute as well as faculty in the Entertainment Technology Center.

His research interest’s lie in the emerging, complex field of multimedia. Most applications fail to take full advantage of the information bandwidth, much less the capabilities of a multimedia, digital video and audio environment. To achieve, in part, a new model of multimedia systems, Scott’s research includes interface designs that consider the complexity of multimedia objects, create high-fidelity environments, and incorporate an understanding of cinema and of digital video’s temporal, spatial, and psychological nature.

Scott’s work also aspires to take the captivating power of story and fantasy, and combine it with motivating design, for applications ranging from learning and entertainment to information access and scientific visualization.
