Dr Allison Jing is a Postdocatoral researcher at the Empathic Computing Lab, investigating sharing empathy in VR collaboration. She received her PhD degree in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) supervised by Professor Mark Billinghurst and Dr Gun Lee, focusing on non-verbal gaze and gesture sharing XR remote collaboration research.
This research focuses on visualizing shared gaze cues, designing interfaces for collaborative experience, and incorporating multimodal interaction techniques and physiological cues to support empathic Mixed Reality (MR) remote collaboration using HoloLens 2, Vive Pro Eye, Meta Pro, HP Omnicept, Theta V 360 camera, Windows Speech Recognition, Leap motion hand tracking, and Zephyr/Shimmer Sensing technologies
This research demo aims to address the problem of passive and dull museum exhibition experiences that many audiences still encounter. The current approaches to exhibitions are typically less interactive and mostly provide single sensory information (e.g., visual, auditory, or haptic) in a one-to-one experience.
