Antony Tang | University of British Columbia

Anthony (Tony) Tang is a PhD candidate with Dr Sid Fels from the Human Communication Technologies Lab at the University of British Columbia. Tony's research interest is in how the design of new technologies can be informed by an understanding of users' existing work practices and mental models of their work, be it collaborative or independent activity. His dissertation work focuses on the design of applications for large interactive surfaces, though his interests more broadly fall into the domains of CSCW and Ubiquitous Computing. Concurrent to his dissertation work, he is actively engaged in ongoing projects that include work with digital video manipulation, telepresence, MMORPGs, and location-based games.
