AI × XR × HCI • Creating Future Experiences Through Technology

I'm a researcher at the School of Creative Media, CityU Hong Kong, working under Ray LC's guidance.

My work explores the creative intersections of Extended Reality (XR), AI-Generated Content (AIGC), and Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI). I'm passionate about pushing the boundaries of human-computer interaction to create experiences that blend technology with creative expression.

As a designer and director, I craft fictional narratives and animated visions of future products. Currently focusing on GenAI for gamification.
