Overview

Dr. Glencross' research interests are in computer graphics, human computer interaction and the application of these areas to real industry problems.

Glencross is director for teaching and learning in the school of ITEE and leads the Graphics and Visualisation theme in the Centre for Energy Data Innovation, where she directs research into tools and technologies to support decision making in the Energy sector. With a background in industry focused research, her work in computer graphics has been supported through industry contracts and research council funding. Her work has had commercial impacts across computer games, visual effects, displays, mobile phones and image-based capture technologies.

She previously led the technical product management of a Graphics Processor Unit at ARM Ltd (UK), the intellectual property for which is deployed in mobile phone handsets. Glencross co-founded two UK-based technology startups; as research director of Pismo Software, she led innovation in automated 3D content creation pipelines for Virtual Reality interior design for Yulio Inc. As director for research at a smart heating company, Glencross led the research and development of an advanced intelligence heating system device.

She serves the computer graphics community as SIGGRAPH 2023 Emerging Technologies Chair. She is also member of the steering committee of the ACM PACM journals, and associate editor of the Computers & Graphics journal. She is recognised as a senior member of the ACM.

Research Interests

  • Computer Graphics
    3D Scene Recovery, Realistic Rendering, Digital Humans, Visualisation, Virtual and Augmented Reality and Human Computer Interaction Methods

Research Impacts

Dr. Glencross's commercial research contributions in 3D capture and 3D model reconstruction from images have been deployed across applications including interior design, games, movies, architectural planning, cultural heritage and automotive rendering. Her work to automate creation of 3D surface textures from images was used in computer games, to create 3D models of Chichen Itza for the Tales of the Maya Skies dome projected movie, for rapid creation and visualisation of 3D surrounding context models for architectural planning, and for recovering material appearance models for high quality rendering in interior design and automotive applications. Her work in smart heating systems has had social impact, helping to monitor elderly and vulnerable people's heating and reducing heating and repair costs and emissions.
