Spatial Human-Computer Interaction Lab

Our research? How, where, and why people interact with spatial information in XR and real-world environments.

Our focus? Behavioral in-situ studies with equipment such as:

Geographic-Aware Augmented Reality Framework

Say goodbye to stationary outdoor AR experiences with the GeoAR framework developed at our lab. Position geo-referenced digital objects anywhere at an accuracy of 5-10cm – irrespective of the current user position.

Our Research Visions

Wayfinding & Beyond: Spatial Cognition & Behavior

Geographic Aware Augmented Reality
