His research interests span interaction design principles, gesture-based systems, and accessibility in VR/AR. Key areas include mid-air gestures, wearable computing, and improving user engagement through innovative input mechanisms. Recent work explores psychological ownership in AI-assisted writing, sustainable 3D printing techniques, and spatial augmented reality interfaces.
Publications span over two decades, addressing topics like touch interaction, gesture recognition, and the ergonomics of virtual environments. His work often bridges theoretical HCI principles with practical system implementations.
Notable contributions include frameworks for contextual visualizations in AR, finger-based input sensing hardware, and studies on user behavior in semi-automated fabrication tasks. He advises on emerging technologies while maintaining a focus on human-centered design principles.
