معرفی
Lung-Pan Cheng is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering at National Taiwan University. His research focuses on creating innovative interfaces that bridge physical and virtual realities, with particular emphasis on virtual reality systems, haptic feedback mechanisms, and perceptual illusions.
Dr. Cheng's work explores how to create more immersive and believable virtual experiences through:
- Novel haptic feedback systems that simulate physical interactions in virtual environments
- Real walking techniques that overcome physical space limitations in VR
- Perceptual illusions that enhance the sense of presence in virtual worlds
- Human actuation approaches that leverage people as part of the VR infrastructure
- Optical illusions applied to digital media and gaming experiences
- Advanced fabrication techniques for interactive physical objects
His recent publications (2022-2024) demonstrate a continued trajectory of innovation in VR interaction techniques, with work focusing on directional force feedback, infinite vertical navigation, and the integration of optical illusions into virtual experiences. Dr. Cheng's research consistently combines hardware innovation with perceptual psychology to create compelling user experiences that push the boundaries of virtual environments.
Dr. Cheng has received notable recognition for his work:
- Best Paper Award at CHI 2022 for 'AirRacket: Perceptual Design of Ungrounded, Directional Force Feedback to Improve Virtual Racket Sports Experiences'
- SIC People's Choice Award at UIST 2022 for 'Garnish into Thin Air'
His research has been featured in media outlets including MIT News and New Scientist, indicating broader impact beyond academic circles. Dr. Cheng maintains active collaborations with researchers worldwide, as evidenced by his international co-authorship patterns across multiple disciplines including computer science, psychology, and engineering.
