Dynamic Graphics Project
The Dynamic Graphics Project is an interdisciplinary research laboratory at the University of Toronto devoted to projects involving computer graphics, computer vision, human [computer interaction], and visualization. The lab began as the computer graphics research group of Department of Computer Science Professor Leslie Mezei in 1967. Mezei invited Bill Buxton, a pioneer of human–computer interaction to join. In 1972, Ronald Baecker, another HCI pioneer joined, establishing DGP as the first Canadian university group focused on computer graphics and human-computer interaction. According to csrankings.org, the DGP is the top research institution in the world for the combined subfields of computer graphics, HCI, and visualization.
Since then, DGP has hosted many well known faculty and students in computer graphics, computer vision and HCI. DGP also occasionally hosts artists in residence. Many past and current researchers at Autodesk graduated after working at DGP. DGP is located in the University of [Toronto St. George campus|St. George campus] of University of Toronto in the Bahen Centre for Information Technology. DGP researchers regularly publish at ACM SIGGRAPH, ACM SIGCHI and ICCV.
DGP hosts the Toronto User Experience Speaker Series and the Sanders Series Lectures.
