Projects

Designing and Studying eXtended Reality

Foundational XR research at HXI: interaction techniques for headsets and spatial displays, and immersive environments used as controlled settings for studying behavior.

VOLI: Voice Assistant for Quality of Life and Healthcare Improvement in Aging Populations

A context-aware voice assistant for older adults, supporting everyday quality of life and connecting them to their healthcare.

eXtended Collaboration

XR systems for remote collaboration on physical tasks, using spatial computing and alternate 3D representations to reduce the effort of communicating across distance.

Mixed-Dimensional Information Spaces

Interfaces spanning 2D documents and 3D space: MemoVis, PaperToPlace, and SweeperBot support design feedback, spatialized instructions, and accessible 3D browsing.

Mitigating Uncertainty in Online Learning at Scale

Learning aids for online education at scale: minimally-invasive context about a learner drives timely AI and peer support.

UbiStroke: Multimodal Sensing of Stroke-Related Deficits

A multimodal sensing approach to acute stroke assessment: body posture, facial droop, pupil tracking, and speech are combined into a per-patient signature of stroke-related deficits.

PrototipAR/PintAR: Rapid Prototyping in Augmented Reality

Sketch-based prototyping for augmented reality: designers draw spatial experiences directly in the space where they will be used.

ChronoSense and Lab-in-a-Box

Multimodal data capture for real-world studies: synchronised sensor streams, with real-time and near-time analysis through an extensible plugin interface.

HoloCPR: Designing and Evaluating a Mixed Reality Interface for Time-Critical Emergencies

Real-time resuscitation guidance in mixed reality: visual and spatial cues sit on the patient, so a novice sees what to do where it has to be done.

Embodied Coding

A programming environment in AR and VR built on embodied tools and spatial metaphors rather than the traditional wall of text.
