The Dynamic Graphics Project (commonly referred to as DGP) is an interdisciplinary research laboratory at the University of Toronto devoted to projects involving Computer Graphics, Computer Vision, and Human Computer Interaction. The lab began as the computer graphics research group of Computer Science Professor Leslie Mezei in 1967 [2]. Mezei invited Bill Buxton, a pioneers of human–computer interaction to join in . In 1972, Ronald Baecker, another HCI pioneer joined DGP. Since then, DGP has hosted many well known faculty and students in computer graphics, computer vision and HCI (e.g., Bill Reeves, Jos Stam, Demetri Terzopoulos). Many past and current researchers at Autodesk (and before that Alias Wavefront) graduated after working at DGP.[3]. DGP is located in the St. George Campus of University of Toronto in the Bahen Centre for Information Technology. DGP researchers regularly publish at ACM SIGGRAPH, ACM SIGCHI and ICCV.
