Biographical
Sketch
Dr. Kenyon received his B.S. degree in
Electrical Engineering from the University of Rhode Island, in 1970, a M.S.
degree in Bioengineering from the University of Illinois, Chicago, in 1972, and
a Ph.D. in Physiological Optics from the University of California, Berkeley, in
1978. From 1979 to 1986, he was a faculty member of the Department of
Aeronautics and Astronautics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
Cambridge and Harvard Medical School - Whitaker Health Sciences and Technology
Joint Programs. He is currently a Professor of Computer Science at the
University of Illinois at Chicago. From 2000-2002 he was a visiting Associate
Professor at the University of Washington, Seattle. In 2006, he was a visiting
Research Associate at the College de France, Laboratoire de Physiologie de la
Perception et de l'Action, working with Prof. Alain Berthoz. His research has
spanned the areas of sensory-motor adaptation, effects of micro-gravity on
vestibular development, visuo-motor and posture control, flight simulation,
virtual environments, computer graphics, Tele-immersion and sensory/motor
integration for navigation and wayfinding.
While at MIT he was a collaborator on
several Space Shuttle experiments that studied the effects of micro-gravity on
human/animal orientation: Spacelab-1, German Space-lab (D-1), and STS-29 (''Chix
in Space''). He also developed and delivered an interactive visual display system
to produce simulator-like experiences for AF pilots undergoing training at
Brooks AFB centrifuge and disorientation trainers. For this AF funded research,
both hardware and software was designed to present the pilots with an
interactive wide-field-of-view computer-generated imagery superior to the
current day head mounted displays. He also was originator, director, and one of
the three instructors that taught one of the first flight simulator courses in
the country designed for professionals (MIT's summer session program).
His work at UIC has concentrated on
virtual environments (VEs) with his involvement with the CAVE. He was co-PI on
two NSF grants that were instrumental in the development of the CAVE. He also
has been a major contributor to understanding how limitations of a VE system
(such as the CAVE) can affect human behavior. Other work has examined human
performance in VEs and how to quantify the use of VEs for training and
collaboration. This work was performed using stand-alone CAVE applications and
also in networked (i.e., tele-immersive) applications using a variety of
networks from ISDN to the latest international networks (STARTAP). Some of this
work has been specifically aimed at analyzing and improving the performance of
distributed VEs themselves by understanding the characteristics of the
connecting networks and modeling both the CAVE and the network using
Petri-nets. Other modeling work focused on humans were he and his students
developed a system identification tool based on Kalman filters that can be used
to estimate in real-time the delay and model coefficients of a human operator
and how these characteristics change as the operator's environment is changed.
His work on applications of VE to
biocybernetics, which is being carried out at the Rehabilitation Institute of
Chicago, involves the coupling of robots to VE and the integration of visual
and motion information in maintaining erect posture. The VE-Robot systems are
being used to explore new methods that will aid in the rehabilitation of stroke
survivors. Specifically, these systems are being used to apply both visual and
haptic information in combinations that help the stroke patient regain control
of affected limbs [arm motion]. The application of VE and posture platform motion
has been used to examine how young healthy individuals, elderly, and those with
a loss of vestibular function combine visual and motion information to maintain
erect posture. The use of complex visual scenes with physical motion has
allowed the exploration of how these individuals integrate information from
these sensors in the physical world. Some emerging research is investigating
the integration of visual and kinesthetic information utilized to find
locations in unfamiliar environments. His most recent work has explored the use
of visual and kinesthetic information in the process of navigation. By
manipulating the visual and haptic information during navigation tasks, our
understanding of how navigation is processed will be explored.
