Biography
Dr. Michael Terry is an Associate Professor in the Cheriton School of Computer Science, University of Waterloo, University Avenue West, Waterloo, ON, Canada.
Research Interest
Professor Terry's work in the field of human-computer interaction (HCI) employs methods from the sciences and design disciplines to develop new technologies that address real-world human needs. Together with his students, he has created a range of novel technologies, including a gesture-based presentation system built using computer vision, software license agreements that people actually read, linguistic aids for non-native speakers, and expressive new drawing tools for visual artists. Currently, his primary work examines the unique opportunities and challenges inherent in creating highly usable open source software.
