About Me

I am a research science manager at Facebook Reality Labs where I lead the Computational Interaction research group focusing on novel input solutions, interaction techniques and adaptive interfaces in augmented and virtual reality. I am passionate about creating highly interactive and adaptive real-time systems that highlight the core innovations while at the same time surprising and delighting the user.

I have been active in the Human-Computer Interaction research community. I have been actively involved in the leadership of the ACM User Interface Software and Technology conference, the premier conference in the field (I was the general chair for ACM UIST 2014 and the program chair for ACM UIST 2012). I also served as the Information Director and Associate Editor for ACM TOCHI journal, the premier journal in my field.

Prior to my current role, I was a senior researcher at Microsoft Research, where I have had the priviledge of working on several projects that were released as Microsoft products or as open-sourced projects, including Microsoft Touch Mouse, Windows Touch Visualizations, and RoomAlive Toolkit. I was also one of the founders of studio99, a magical group of artists-in-residence and scientists working together to inspire new ways of thinking at Microsoft.


Research Highlights
 
Haptics / Augmented Reality / Virtual Reality
I am interested in creating experiences in AR/VR that enable people to be more than simple observers: to touch, play with and experience the world around them. Haptics offer an interesting channel for input and output that provides a visceral and highly realistic experience. Furthermore, I am also fascinated how we can exploit some perceptual illusions to create a better interactive experience.

Interactive Projection Mapping
I am fascinated with the possibility of using cameras and projectors to embue the space with interactivity. Such projector+camera combinations can enable both data visualization and interactivity without requiring the user to wear any additional gear. Our solutions allow for projection mapping view-dependent perspective content on top of dynamically changing background scenes.

Multitouch & Pen Input Devices
Current computer input devices are well optimized input solutions, but they often offer very limited bandwith for interacting with computers. For example, very few devices really take advantage of the full dexterity of the user's hands. My projects have investigated extending the interaction vocabulary of several standard input devices (e.g., mice, pens, and spartphone touchscreens) through multi-touch sensing embedded on the surface of the device. Not only are such multi-touch devices capable of both standard operation and multi-touch gestures, but they can also implicitly sense a lot of contextual information about their use (e.g., whether the user is right or left handed). One of our ideas about multitouch mice made it from a research concept into a product (Microsoft Touch Mouse).
