Research
Stone began working in computer graphics in the early 1970s, as part of the PLATO project at the University of Illinois.{{citation|title=Interview with Maureen Stone|first=Wendy|last=Ju|date=July 22, 2002|series=Reports from SIGGRAPH 2002|url=http://www.siggraph.org/conferences/reports/s2002/interview/stone.html}}. She is the author of the book A Field Guide to Digital Color,{{citation|title=Book Review: A Field Guide to Digital Color|first=Alan|last=Kravetz|journal=Color Research & Application|volume=31|issue=5|pages=436–437|year=2006|doi=10.1002/col.20249}}. and has performed pioneering research on color management for digital printing.{{sfnp|Stone|Cowan|Beatty|1988}} She has also collaborated with colleagues from PARC on research in human–computer interaction; some of her highly cited works in this area concern snapping to nearby objects in point and click interfaces,{{sfnp|Bier|Stone|1986}} transparent user interface elements,{{sfnp|Bier|Stone|Pier|Buxton|1993}} and interaction with high-resolution video displays.{{sfnp|Guimbretière|Stone|Winograd|2001}}
