    Interaction beyond the screen.

    My research investigates how humans perceive, navigate, and interact with 3D spatial environments—bridging foundational studies in virtual reality perception and passive haptics with planet-scale augmented reality navigation and grounded multimodal AI.

    1. 2016 – 2018 · Texas A&M

      Perceptual Redirection & Visual Provenance

      Quantified psychophysical thresholds for remapped hand reach, passive haptics, and head rotation in VR, alongside collaborative visual analytics and tethered aerial robotics.

    2. 2018 – 2019 · NextGen × NIST

      Tactile VR Simulation for Public Safety

      Translated passive-haptic research into FirstSimVR with the Raleigh Fire Department, combining tracked physical controls and VR to evaluate next-generation emergency interfaces.

    3. 2019 – Present · Google

      GeoAR Navigation & Multimodal Spatial AI

      Invented multi-accuracy AR orientation and 3D street-mesh annotations for Google Maps Live View, and contributed to camera-based spatial search and multimodal AI for Lens in Maps.
