Hello! I am David M. Krum, an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the California State University, Los Angeles.

  • My research interests include human-computer interaction, 3D interaction, and virtual/augmented reality.
  • I lead the Experience Lab (also known as the XP Lab), which studies human-computer interaction and specializes in the research and development of virtual and augmented reality technologies.
  • I co-direct the Institute for Interactive Arts, Research, and Technology (InART), which advances the art, practice, and research of digital narrative (storytelling) and game design.
  • More information is available at my personal page.
