Summary
Cameron Steer is a Senior Lecturer in Computer Science based in Bristol, specialising in Human-Computer Interaction, tangible user interfaces, and shape-changing/force-responsive technologies. With a PhD from Swansea University and over a decade of experience bridging academia and industry, he designs and evaluates novel hardware/software interfaces that broaden creative interaction with digital art and design tools. He contributed to the ERC-funded FORCE-UI project at the University of Bath, developing deformable, force-sensitive prototypes and running user studies published at top-tier HCI venues. Cameron also brings product and startup experience from co-founding Finative, combining UX-led product development with hands-on prototyping in Arduino, 3D printing and embedded systems. His work sits at the intersection of expressive interaction design and practical engineering, mentoring students while pushing tangible interfaces toward real-world creative applications.
