Welcome
This is the personal homepage of Dr. Jan Fischer. I am a computer graphics researcher and am currently working as a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Victoria, Canada. My main research interests in computer graphics are non-photorealistic rendering, GPU techniques, mixed/augmented reality, and medical and scientific visualization, as well as related computer vision areas such as camera pose estimation and video stylization. Recently, a central focus of my work has been the visual realism of composited real and virtual image elements. More information about me and my work is available through the menu items on the left.
