Prof. Mark Billinghurst

Job Titles:
  • Professor of Human Computer Interaction at the University
Prof. Mark Billinghurst is a Professor of Human Computer Interaction at the University of South Australia in Adelaide, Australia, and Professor in the Bio-Engineering Institute at the University of Auckland in New Zealand. He is the Director of the Empathic Computing Laboratory, which is situated at both universities. At the HIT Lab at the University of Washington, he completed his PhD in electrical engineering in 2002 under the supervision of Professor Thomas Furness III and Professor Linda Shapiro. The result of his thesis "Common Space: Exploring Collaborative Augmented Reality" was the magic book - an animated children's book that is brought to life through a lightweight head-mounted display (HMD). Over the past few years, Prof. Billinghurst has received several awards for his contribution to research in the field of Human Interface Technology. In 2001, he received the Discover Magazine Award for Entertainment for developing Magic Book technology. He was selected as one of eight leading New Zealand innovators and entrepreneurs to exhibit in the New Zealand Innovation Pavilion from November 2002 to March 2003. In 2005 he was appointed to the New Zealand Government's Advisory Board for Growth and Innovation. In 2019 he received the VGTC Virtual Reality Career Award for his research and contribution to the scientific community. Originally educated in New Zealand, he is a two-time graduate from Waikato University, where he completed a BCMS (Bachelor of Computing and Mathematical Science) in 1990 and a Master of Philosophy (Applied Mathematics and Physics) in 1992. Am HIT Lab der University of Washington promovierte er 2002 in Elektrotechnik unter der Leitung von Professor Thomas Furness III und Professor Linda Shapiro. Das Ergebnis seiner These "Common Space: Exploring Collaborative Augmented Reality" war das Zauberbuch - ein animiertes Kinderbuch, das durch ein leichtes Head-Mounted Display (HMD) zum Leben erweckt wird. In den letzten Jahren wurde Prof. Billinghurst für seinen Beitrag zur Forschung auf dem Gebiet der Human Interface Technology mehrfach ausgezeichnet. 2001 erhielt er den Discover Magazine Award for Entertainment für die Entwicklung der Magic Book-Technologie. Von November 2002 bis März 2003 wurde er als einer von acht führenden neuseeländischen Innovatoren und Unternehmern ausgewählt, die im New Zealand Innovation Pavilion ausstellten. 2005 wurde er in den Beirat für Wachstum und Innovation der neuseeländischen Regierung berufen. 2019 erhielt er den VGTC Virtual Reality Career Award für seine Forschung und seinen Beitrag für die Wissenschaft. Ursprünglich in Neuseeland ausgebildet, ist er zweifacher Absolvent der Waikato University, wo er 1990 einen BCMS (Bachelor of Computing and Mathematical Science) und 1992 einen Master of Philosophy (Applied Mathematics and Physics) abschloss. Als absoluter Experte für Augmented Reality, das in der Broadcast-Branche zum Standard-Designelement und zur maßgeblichen Technologie zählt, bereichert und erweitert er die Expertise des Journals of Virtual and Broadcasting durch sein Wissen in idealer Weise.
