Henry Kam

I am a graduate Computer Science student at New York University conducting research under Prof. Qi Sun.

My research interests include virtual and augmented reality, perceptual graphics, and applied vision science. I study which features of the human visual system most influence perception in VR/AR, and how advances in display technologies can leverage visual perception.
