Toby L. J. Howard is a Reader in the School of Computer Science at the University of Manchester in the UK, and Director of undergraduate studies.[10][11][12][13][14]

Education

Howard was educated at Birkenhead School, and then the University of Manchester receiving a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer science and a Master of Science degree in 1983 for work on the graphics facilities of the MU6 network.[15]

Research

Howard does research on Computer Graphics and Virtual Environments[16][17][18][19] as a member of the Advanced Interfaces Group (AIG)[20] and has supervised several doctoral students.[1][3][5][7][9][21] Howard's current research projects include:

"Virtual Reality as a Rehabilitative Technology for Phantom limb[22] Experience, investigating using virtual environments for treating phantom limb pain in amputees"[21]

"Augmented Reality, with preliminary work on an interactive display for public engagement"[21]

Previous research projects include

"Virtual environments for psychology research. Telepresence and Telepathy in Immersive Virtual Reality, used immersive virtual environments to test for telepathic effects:"[21]

"Augmented Reality Image Synthesis (ARIS). Augmenting photographs with correctly illuminated objects in real time (gallery)."[21]

"Virtual environments for crime scene investigation. We worked with Greater Manchester Police on the REVEAL project, investigating reconstructing crime scenes using virtual environments with accurate global illumination:"[21]

"VR for Large Scale-Applications" (VRLSA) concentrated on the development of industrial applications and resulted in the release of our MAVERIK[18] VR kernel."[21]

Teaching

Howard teaches on Computer Graphics and Image Processing and Advanced Computer Graphics and leads the Annual UK Schools Computer Animation Competition, now (2013) in its seventh year.[23]
