Tony Liao, Ph.D., serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Information Science Technology at the University of Houston, where he directs the CougAR Lab and teaches courses including DIGM 2325 (Information Technology Applications for Digital Media) and DIGM 4397 (Augmented and Virtual Reality). His academic appointments reflect deep integration within the university's digital media initiatives at the Sugar Land campus. His educational foundation includes: Ph.D. in Communication, Cornell University (2014) M.S. in Communication, Cornell University (2012) B.A. in International Relations and Political Science, University of Southern California (2007) Dr. Liao's research pioneers theoretical frameworks for augmented reality while examining practical applications across education, social interaction, and privacy. His work critically analyzes how users negotiate embodiment in VR environments, develop folk theories about personality recognition algorithms, and navigate ethical dilemmas in AI-mediated relationships. He investigates the tension between technological capability and user comfort—particularly regarding privacy in body tracking systems and the psychological impacts of immersive experiences. His educational research focuses on VR's capacity to transform complex STEM concepts like crystalline structures into tangible learning experiences. Analysis of his 2021-2025 publications reveals three dominant trajectories: theoretical development for AR (addressing fragmentation in the field), educational VR applications (with physics education as a key test case), and socio-technical implications of algorithmic systems (especially regarding intimacy and personality recognition). His work consistently bridges communication theory with human-computer interaction, emphasizing user-centered perspectives on emerging technologies. Notably, he documents how marketing narratives shape AR development cycles and how users reconcile the 'creepiness' of predictive algorithms with their practical utility. No scientific awards were documented in the provided materials. While specific student advising details and grant information remain undisclosed in available sources, his CougAR Lab leadership suggests active mentorship in AR/VR development. His Google Scholar profile indicates substantial scholarly influence through publications that shape discourse in immersive technology ethics and application design. As Director of the CougAR Lab, Dr. Liao cultivates a research ecosystem focused on practical AR implementation challenges, theoretical advancement, and ethical considerations. The lab serves as an incubator for projects examining spatial computing in public spaces, educational technology innovation, and the social dynamics of emerging media—positioning it at the intersection of technical development and human-centered design.
