Jonas Auda

Jonas Auda is an active researcher at University of Duisburg-Essen specializing in virtual reality, cross-reality systems, and human-computer interaction. His work focuses on novel interaction techniques, haptic feedback systems, and bridging physical and virtual environments. He has published consistently since 2014, with a significant increase in output following his 2023 PhD completion.

Dr. Auda's research interests center around enhancing user experience in virtual environments through innovative interaction methods. His work spans cross-reality systems that bridge physical and virtual worlds, haptic feedback mechanisms including drone-based interfaces, and novel approaches to 3D interaction and visualization. He has made significant contributions to understanding how users navigate and interact within virtual spaces, particularly through his work on hand displacement techniques and haptic props.

His publication record shows a clear trend toward increasingly sophisticated cross-reality systems, with recent work focusing on generative AI applications in virtual environments, human-in-the-loop robot training, and comparative studies of different interaction modalities. The research demonstrates strong methodological rigor with careful comparative evaluations of different techniques across multiple platforms.

Dr. Auda has received recognition through publications in top venues including CHI, MobileHCI, and ACM Computing Surveys, indicating his work is well-regarded in the human-computer interaction community. His collaborative pattern shows strong ties with researchers at University of Duisburg-Essen, particularly Stefan Schneegass and Uwe Gruenefeld.

His research has practical implications for remote collaboration, education technology, and advanced user interfaces for virtual environments. Current work suggests continued exploration of AI integration with virtual reality systems and refinement of cross-reality interaction paradigms.
