We present the preliminary interferometric observations of the cool giant star V Hya. V Hya, which is known to have mass-loss and to be surrounded by a dust shell,was observed in three narrow-band filters in the H bandpass at the infrared optical telescope array (IOTA), using the IONIC three-telescope beam combiner. The star was also observed at the Keck telescope using an aperture mask. We discuss the results and try to fit simple models to the observed data.
