J. Edward Swan II

J. Edward Swan II is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Mississippi State University. His research focuses on Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), with an emphasis on perceptual aspects of AR/VR systems, calibration techniques, and user experience optimization. He has contributed extensively to advancing AR/VR technologies through studies on depth perception, text legibility, and system accuracy.

• Key roles: IEEE VR Steering Committee member, conference program chair, and guest editor for top journals.
• Research areas include optical see-through AR systems, user performance evaluation, and spatial perception in virtual environments.

His work spans over 120 publications since 1995, with recent contributions addressing font optimization for AR displays, eye-tracking-based depth measurement, and X-ray vision systems for situational awareness. Notable recognition includes the VGTC Virtual Reality Service Award (2023).
