Research Interest

Welcome! My name is Peyman Toreini. I am the head of "Eye-based Interactive Systems" team at IISD and postdoctoral researcher. My research focuses on the intersection between Information Systems (IS) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). I study designing and developing the next generation of user interfaces for working environments. In particular, I am interested in the novel user experiences that are enabled by eye-trackers on desktop stations, smart glasses, augmented and mixed reality environments.
