Research Lab
About the Lab
Our research lies at the intersection of Human–Computer Interaction (HCI) and Artificial Intelligence. We focus on developing AI-powered input technologies, modeling human performance, improving accessibility, and designing interaction techniques for VR/XR. We are particularly interested in leveraging large language models (LLMs) to build practical interaction methods that enhance user performance and experience.
