Horizon is a research group in the Department of Computer Science at University of Rochester. We work on architecture + V, where V is any visual computing domain that is technically deep and has broad societal impact (e.g., Augmented/Virtual Reality, autonomous machines, and cultural heritage); architecture refers to the interplay among different components of information-processing architecture, such as optics, image sensors, microprocessors, and the human visual system.
