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.

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

🚨Join us for a hybrid #CHI2024 panel on improving advising relationships between PhD students and faculty! phd-advising-hci.com We aim to raise awareness about less serious but more common advising issues (e.g., unprofessional behavior, exploitation) and brainstorm solutions.

Imagine walking down a busy street with ambient sounds and crowd chatter, while engaging in a virtual call and receiving navigation directions. In our recent work Sound Unblending, we designed sound manipulations to enhance mixed reality audio awareness👉arxiv.org/abs/2401.11095
