Dr Wayne Cranton, Reader in Visual Technology at Nottingham Trent University has been working in displays research since 1991, is the head of ICT in the School of Computing and Informatics and is a founding partner of the UK DisplayMasters Programme. As the Head of the Displays Research Group at Nottingham Trent, he has developed a novel high intensity electroluminescent technology for use in near to eye displays, and is working on laser processing techniques for use in flexible display fabrication. Building on the technological research, Dr Cranton has an interest in information visualisation techniques and has recently been working on the use of 3D immersive environments. Mark Fihn currently heads his own consulting company called VeritaVis, where he supports the flat panel display industry based on his expertise related to notebook PCs, Tablet PCs, touch technologies, the LCD TV market, and display related human factors, including high resolution and wide aspect ratios. Veritas et Visus is part of this consultancy, enabling Mark to reach a broader audience in association with his research activities. Prior to VeritaVis, Mark worked for 3 years at the market research firm DisplaySearch. He additionally participated for 15 years in computer system and LCD-related procurement at Texas Instruments and Dell Computer while living in the United States and Taiwan. He has been active in many display-related areas, most specifically in publicly championing industry-wide adoption of high resolution displays, notebook LCD standardization, and video sub-system integration. Mark was educated at St. Olaf College (Northfield, Minnesota), the American Graduate School of International Management, (Phoenix, Arizona); St. Edward's University, (Austin, Texas), and in the University of Texas at Austin's doctoral program in International Business.
