AIREAL is a tactile-feedback device that delivers effective and expressive tactile sensations in free air, without requiring the user to wear a physical device.
BeThere, a proof-of-concept system designed to explore 3D input for mobile collaborative interactions.
LightGuide is a system that explores a new approach to gesture guidance where we project guidance hints directly on a user’s body.
We explore interacting with everyday objects by representing content as interactive surface particles. Users can build their own physical world, map virtual content onto their physical construction and play directly with the surface using a stylus.

  • Welcome

    I am a PhD candidate at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. In my research, I create new sensing and interaction techniques for humans to more naturally interact with computers. My advisers are David Forsyth in computer vision and Brian Bailey in HCI.
