Mario Enriquez

I’m a PhD. candidate in the department of computer science under the supervision of Dr. Karon MacLean.

My Master’s Thesis on Haptic Iconography is now finished!  and online: Thesis as officially delivered to Library                                      March 23, 2006

Research Interests:

My research interests include haptics, tactile communication, interface design and multimodal perception.
