The 2012 virtual reality career award

The 2012 virtual reality career award goes to Lawrence (Larry) Rosenblum, in recognition of his contributions to VR/AR research and systems, his leadership in developing the ONR Mobile Augmented Reality Program, and his service to the community. In the 1980s and early 1990s Larry developed visualization techniques that produced scientific advances in the ocean sciences. He subsequently focused his attention on virtual and augmented reality, where his research group, among other achievements, played a seminal role in the development of the field of mobile augmented reality. For his outstanding contributions to VR/AR research and for the his role in the development of government funding programs that supported these fields, the IEEE VGTC is pleased to award Larry Rosenblum the 2012 Virtual Reality Career Award.
