Empower visual communication through computer graphics, including:

• Design of video game rules and other decision-based systems
• Emulating real phenomena in virtual worlds
• Authoring tools for interactive content
• Digital video as a user interface

Prof. McGuire's current research spans computer vision and video games. He's using video cameras to help computers understand the 3D world around them, and is investigating new design methods for video games increase interactivity and engagement as well as improving 3D rendering. He incorporates these research ideas into the computer graphics and game design courses that he teaches at Williams College.

He received his PhD from Brown University in 2006 for graduate work creating new kinds of cameras that contain multiple sensors. These cameras can focus an image after it is captured, separate an image from its background, and perform other special effects that are impossible to achieve with a single sensor. Such cameras can be used for film production and security applications.

Prof. McGuire is the papers co-chair of the 2009 ACM Symposium on Interactive 3D Graphics and Games (I3D09), a member of the Journal of Graphics Tools editorial board, the co-author of Creating Games: Mechanics, Content, and Technology, and co-chaired I3D08.

He has consulted for the games industry on titles including Titan Quest (2006) and ROBLOX (2005) and served as a senior software architect at several graphics-related companies including PeakStream, Curl, and Oculus Technologies. He is currently working on a new Xbox 360 title.
