Augmented Reality (AR) / Virtual Reality (VR) / Extended Reality (XR)


Extended Reality (XR) technologies represent a paradigm shift in computing, enabling users to interact with the digital world seamlessly and effortlessly. HCII's research is at the forefront of this interdisciplinary area, and leading to advances in understanding and modeling human behavior when interacting with XR, creating novel multi modal interactive devices and sensors, adaptive XR systems, and leveraging the technology for applications such as productivity, healthcare, manufacturing, or entertainment. 


We work closely with campus-wide initiatives such as the CMU Extended Reality Technology Center (XRTC), the Entertainment Technology Center (ETC), and the Center for Transformational Play (CTP).
