Designing games for children with autism via AR
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is something that is experienced in vastly different ways by Autistic people. Some Autistic children have idiosyncrasies with behaviour, emotion and communication, which may cause them to be excluded or to face barriers to access services.

Watermarks cannot deter deepfakes
New research from the University of Waterloo’s Cybersecurity and Privacy Institute demonstrates that any artificial intelligence (AI) image watermark can be removed, without the attacker needing to know the design of the watermark, or even whether an image is watermarked to begin with.
From Co-op Student of the Year to Silicon Valley
For many students at Waterloo, the co-op program is more than just a way to gain work experience, it’s a transformative journey that shapes their career after graduation. This is especially true for computer science alumni Henry Shi (BCS' 14). With a passion for tech and business, he honed his skills through co-op terms at Scotia Capital and Bloomberg Sports, eventually venturing into Silicon Valley.
