Shaping the Future of Spatial Human-AI Interaction
As AI evolves from passive tools to proactive agents and XR reshapes our spatial and embodied interactions, the distinction between digital and physical experiences is becoming increasingly fluid. This shift presents new opportunities to rethink how humans and AI interact and collaborate across spatial contexts of varying dimensionality and immersion. In our work, we design, engineer, and study new human-AI systems that both leverage and enhance human perception, cognition, and behavior. Through our design-driven and empirical approach, we combine human-centered methods with system prototyping to address challenges that emerge when humans and AI share interactive spaces.
