How do we leverage GenAI to support immersive authoring in VR, that facilitate fluid interactions, user agency, and creativity? We introduce VRCopilot, a mixed-initiative system for human-AI co-creation in VR. A key technique is "scaffolded creation" using wireframes. #UIST2024

Thrilled to announce my 1st-author paper is now published in IEEE Transactions on Haptics! Whether you're exploring human tactile perception or designing vibrotactile wearable devices, this paper can be a good reference! ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10384…

I'm also interested in recruiting students interested in the Future of AR with a focus on multimodal perception, and applications to accessibility for AR/VR. I'm also interested coadvising students in technical HCI and would love to collaborate with my colleague Venkatesh Potluri

Anhong is a great advisor! I’ve learned a ton from him during my PhD, and would love to share my experience if you’re planning to apply for his PhD.

Mitigating racial bias from LLMs is a lot easier than removing it from humans! Can’t believe this happened at the best AI conference NeurIPS Conference We have ethical reviews for authors, but missed it for invited speakers? 😡
