With a recent focus on cross-cultural interface design, Dr. LeBlanc is working to understand how different cultural groups approach, and learn from, various human-computer interfaces such as websites, office software, and computer games. Ultimately, his research may lead to the development of a system that automatically translates such interfaces from one culturally based design to another.
