As AI decouples intelligence from consciousness, as XR transforms perception, and as matter becomes machine manipulable, three questions about the future arise:
To answer these questions, our current work focuses on eXtended Reality (virtual, augmented and mixed reality or XR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). We are interested in taking an interaction-driven approach to enable new ways of engaging with AI for learning and re-learning skills (e.g., conflict resolution, physical fitness/physical rehab therapy, choreography etc.). Specifically, we investigate the design, engineering, and study of adaptive and explainable interfaces, tools, and systems.
The future is a heterotopia of "worlds within worlds, mirroring and yet upsetting what is outside," connected within and without in one seamless continuum.

A continuously morphing 4D geometrical VR world was my first VR project (DK1) back in 2013.

For Fall 2024, I am actively looking for technical and motivated students who can demonstrate expertise and creativity with prototyping XR, electrical or mechanical systems and have significant prior programming experience, with or without AI. Please use the CS admission process, pick HCI as your area of interest, and include a link to your portfolio of work. Deadline is Dec 2023.
