🏆 ACM CHI 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020 Best Paper / Honorable Mention Awards

🏆 ACM CHI 2023 Student Game Design Competition - 1st Place: Breathero

🏆2023 放視大賞 跨域組 - 金獎 (1st Place)

[CHI 2024] We will be presenting 3 papers on human-centered generative AI for in interior design exploration, VR, and haptics.

  1. RoomDreaming: Generative-AI Approach to Facilitating Iterative, Preliminary Interior Design Exploration

  2. VeeR: Deliberately Designing VR Motion that Diverges from Physical Motion to Create More Entertaining Experiences

  3. Paired-EMS: Enhancing Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS)-based Force Feedback Experience by Stimulating Both Muscles in Antagonistic Pairs

“The Extraordinary Is Ordinary in This VR Wonderland” - SIGGRAPH 2023

[ACM CHI 2023 Honorable Mention Award 🏆] TurnAhead: Designing 3-DoF Rotational Haptic Cues to Improve First-person Viewing (FPV) Experiences.

[ACM CHI 2022 Best Paper Award 🏆] AirRacket is the world’s first directional, ungrounded force feedback racket for virtual racket sports using air jet propulsion. Also, HeadWind, which provides bursts of airflow to the face to improve realism of teleportation experiences in VR.

[UIST 2021] MotionRing, the first headband that creates illusory tactile motion around the head using 1-D, 360° sparse array of vibration motors.

[CHI 2021] JetController, the first high-speed 3-DoF force feedback device, and HapticSeer, an open-source framework to detect video game events for real-time haptic feedback, which received CHI 2021 Honorable Mention Award 🏆.

[SIGGRAPH 2020] We presented HeadBlaster, world’s first wearable VR motion simulator that uses head-mounted air propulsion jets to provide persistent and realistic sensation of inertial and centrifugal forces [SIGGRAPH 2020 Technical Paper and Video ]

Miniature Haptics

Miniature Haptics, which received CHI 2020 Honorable Mention Award 🏆, fundamentally re-thinks how haptics could be provided in new ways to explore haptic experiences beyond what’s possible today. It provides realistic haptic experiences by applying miniaturized haptic feedback to hand-based, embodied avatars.

ACM CHI 2020 Paper 🏆

WalkingVibe: Reducing Virtual Reality Sickness and Improving Realism while Walking in VR using Unobtrusive Head-mounted Vibrotactile Feedback.jpg

WalkingVibe

WalkingVibe applies vibrotactile cues behind the ears, synchronized to footsteps, to reduce VR sickness and to increase the realism of walking experiences in VR.

ACM CHI 2020 Paper

  • [2020/10] We presented StrengthGaming, a new approach to turn repetitive and monotonic strength training motions to control popular games at MobileHCI 2020.

Overview

My research focuses on future user interfaces, at the intersection of human-computer interaction (HCI), artificial intelligence (AI), design, psychology, and mobile/wearable/VR/AR systems. Our work has been featured by Discovery Channel, Engadget, TechCrunch, EE Times, New Scientist, Fast Company, and more.

Recent highlights include CHI Best Paper Awards 🏆and Honorable Mention Awards 🏆, UIST Best Talk Award 🏆, and 科技部吳大猷研究獎 Outstanding Young Researcher Award 🏆. My full publications at CHI, UIST, MobileHCI, and SIGGRAPH are on ACM Digital Library and Google Scholar (citations: 13000, h-index: 45).

I’m sub-committee co-chair (SC) for ACM CHI 2020 in Hawaii and ACM CHI 2021 in Japan. I also organized ACM MobileHCI 2019 conference as program co-chair, (Taipei, Oct 1-4, 2019), in addition to serving as Awards Committee members and Associate Chairs for CHI, UIST, Ubicomp, WWW, SIGGRAPH Asia, USENIX ATC, etc.
