Designing Embodied Interaction: Shaping Bodily Action, Experience, and Capability

My research explores how interactive technologies can engage with and shape human embodiment, focusing on three interconnected dimensions: bodily action, bodily experience, and bodily capability.
Through bodily action, I investigate how human movements and gestures can enable intuitive, expressive, and meaningful interactions with digital and physical systems. Through bodily experience, I explore how haptic feedback and physical sensations can shape users' perception, cognition, and interaction experiences. Through bodily capability, I examine how interactive technologies can influence what people can do, how they perceive their own abilities, and how they interact with their surrounding environments.
Across virtual reality, wearable devices, and everyday interactive environments, my work combines gesture-based interaction, haptics, and embodied design to better understand the relationship between bodily movement, perception, and human-computer interaction.
Ultimately, I aim to advance embodied interaction beyond conventional input and output mechanisms, toward interactive systems that adapt to diverse human capabilities, support inclusive experiences, and empower people to interact with the world in new ways.
