Sampo Tuomas Vaittinen
Member of Research StaffNRC Tampere, Finland
I work as a User Experience researcher in the Mixed Reality Solutions team. I got my masters from Helsinki University of Technology in 2003 majoring in Interactive digital media and Usability research. In the past I've been working on the areas of multimodal user interfaces, interaction research and user interfaces of media applications. My current focus is on mixed reality services. During my free time I follow and discuss movies, try out (old and new) media gadgets and do some sports.
Research Interests
My research interests are in using information about user's real-world context in the user interace of devices and services. I have been applying my interests to areas like digital personal content, lifelogging, as well as augmented and mixed reality services.
