Interactive Cross-Reality (iXR) Lab Overview
At the iXR Lab, founded during my tenure at NJIT, we push the envelope in cross-modal user experiences within the XR domain. Our projects span from driving simulations and military mission planning to designing gaze-contingent displays for gaming and social interactions. We're also delving into the visualization of large datasets in virtual and augmented reality, investigating spatial displacement effects on navigation and learning, and crafting immersive, collaborative applications.
