JoAnn Kuchera-Morin
AlloSphere Research Facility
Dr. Kuchera-Morin on TED.com 		[JoAnn Kuchera-Morin Picture]
The University of Santa Barbara's AlloSphere Research Facility is a 30-foot diameter spherical screen built inside a 3-story near-to-anechoic (echo free) cube and offers researchers a seamless surround-view capabilities with a focus on multiple sensory modalities and interaction.

Certainly a facility with such a wide scope of applicability would require an equally broadly-visioned director, and the AlloSphere has that in Professor of Media Arts and Technology, Professor of Music, and TED speaker Dr. JoAnn Kuchera-Morin. A professor, composer, and researcher in multi-modal media systems content and facilities design, Dr. Kuchera-Morin was Chief Scientist of the University of California's Digital Media Innovation Program from 1998-2003. She also founded the Center for Research in Electronic Art Technology (CREATE) and has been the director since its birth in 1986.
