Nominator's project description

Professor Roberta Klatzky is internationally recognized for her pioneering research in the fields of human perception and cognition, especially in the fields of human haptic/visual object recognition, navigation, as well as guided action. Her research significantly contributed to the design and evaluation of a series of outstanding haptic devices, visual and auditory virtual environments, and augmented reality systems. In Germany, Professor Klatzky continues her highly interdisciplinary research on "Human-centered approaches to human-machine interaction".
