PhD Studentship in Augmented Reality and Wireless Sensor Networks School of Computing, Napier University.
A fully funded three-year PhD studentship is available to investigate the integration of augmented reality (AR) systems with ubiquitous computing infrastructure. The successful applicant will study how we might use dense networks of small wireless sensor systems to (i) spontaneously discover and interact with human observers and (ii) generate enhanced reality visual displays which augment the human observer’s view of the world, using data acquired and/or otherwise generated by the sensor network.
Applicants should have, or expect to obtain, a First Class or Upper Second Class Honours, or Masters, degree in Cybernetics, Human Computer Systems, general Computer Science, or a related subject. Experience in the design and development of 3D graphics, computer vision, or wireless networked applications will be seen as an advantage.
The studentship provides a standard living allowance (of £9,000 pa in
2003-04) and also covers full fees up to a level appropriate to UK/EU applicants, for up to three years subject to satisfactory progress. The studentship is expected to start on 1st October 2004.
