PhD Seminar • Algorithms and Complexity • Shortest Beer Path Queries in Interval Graphs

Please note: This PhD seminar will take place in DC 1304 and online.

David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science

Supervisor: Professor Ian Munro

Our interest is in paths between pairs of vertices that go through at least one of a subset of the vertices known as beer vertices. Such a path is called a beer path, and the beer distance between two vertices is the length of the shortest beer path.

Pointing is an elementary interaction in virtual and augmented reality environments, and, to effectively support selection, techniques must deal with the challenges of occlusion and depth specification. Most of the previous techniques require two explicit steps to handle occlusion.
