Embodied collaboration. Adaptive support. Skills that transfer.

We study how people and AI work together inside spatially complex technical environments. Our focus brings together XR interaction, real-time multimodal performance sensing, domain expertise, and rigorous evaluation.

  1. Embodied AI collaborators

    Investigating AI partners that share spatial attention, demonstrate procedures, and work with people and objects in technical XR simulations.

  2. Multimodal skill assessment

    Using hand and head tracking, interaction events, timing, and error patterns to investigate procedural expertise and adapt support in real time.

  3. Human–robot and AI teaming

    Designing digital-twin training environments for safe collaboration, troubleshooting, exception handling, and oversight of automated systems.

We evaluate collaborative fluency, adaptive co-presence, skill transfer, and trust calibration. Explore our research priorities and evidence →

A shared framework. Four areas of practice.

Four complementary application areas connect our research with practice: XR-based training and skill development, K-12 education, cybersecurity training, and medical/healthcare practice. Together they support the study of human–AI interaction, domain-grounded performance, and skill transfer.
