Michael Wright

Michael Wright is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Bath. His research focuses on haptic feedback systems, educational technology, and user interaction design. He is affiliated with the Institute of Coding and has collaborated on projects involving mid-air haptics, wearable technology, and inquiry-based learning environments.

His work spans interdisciplinary areas such as thermal technology for social interaction (e.g., WarmConnect), perceptual studies in haptics, and educational platforms like nQuire. Recent projects emphasize the integration of visual and tactile feedback systems to enhance user experiences.

Wright's publications highlight trends in mid-air haptics research, exploring thresholds of tactile perception and multimodal feedback systems. His educational research addresses challenges in professional development through degree apprenticeships and online learning.

He has supervised a doctoral thesis on gesture recognition and contributed to projects like 'Day of the Figurines,' a narrative-driven mobile game. His work bridges computational methods with human-centered design principles.
