About
Shaoyu Cai 蔡紹禹
Dr. Shaoyu Cai is currently an educator-track lecturer at the Engineering Design and Innovation Centre (EDIC), College of Design and Engineering, National University of Singapore (NUS). He received his Ph.D. degree from School of Creative Media, City University of Hong Kong (2023). His research objective is to explore how to develop “touchable” computer interfaces to enable people to have physical interaction in the virtual world. He strongly believes haptic interaction can provide greater benefit and experience to users in extended reality (XR) environments, including virtual and augmented reality (VR & AR). His research interest mainly focuses on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), particularly in the areas of Multimodal and Embodied Interaction, Extended Reality, Wearables, and Haptic Interfaces.
