James Davis

Computer Science Professor James Davis specializes in research focused primarily on acquiring digital models of the real world for use in computer graphics. This includes both shape for building 3D models and motion capture for animation. My interests extend from the low level mathematics that make acquisition possible all the way up to the user interfaces that make these tools useful to scientists and artists. Prior to joining UCSC I spent two years at Honda Research Institute, working on real-time range sensing for humanoid robotics applications.
