Our projects turn research questions into systems, studies, and experiences. Rather than organizing our work by individual grants, we group related studies into evolving research programs that show what we are building, investigating, and learning.
Each program below brings together multiple studies and publications around a shared problem. The visuals are drawn from our actual research outputs—prototype screenshots, experimental conditions, study figures, and system demonstrations.
We investigate how intelligent virtual agents and immersive technologies can support social interaction, communication, and meaningful connections between people and virtual beings—and among people themselves.
We investigate how avatars and virtual bodies shape identity, self-perception, embodiment, behavior, interpersonal perception, and interaction across immersive environments.
We develop XR systems that sense and model users—their behavior, emotion, physiology, preferences, and context—and adapt interfaces, agents, and interaction accordingly.
We create intelligent XR systems for clinical decision support, team training, healthcare education, and culturally responsive simulation in complex, time-critical environments.
We explore how immersive experiences can support restoration, emotional recovery, reflection, meaningful connection, culturally situated care, and engagement with places and memories.
We combine XR, AI, and digital twins to help people monitor, navigate, understand, collaborate around, and interact with complex physical systems and intelligent environments.
