About
Shaoyu Cai 蔡紹禹
I am currently a Ph.D student from School of Creative Media, City University of Hong Kong, as well as a member of Multimodal and Embodied Interaction (MEI) lab supervised by Prof. Kening Zhu. My research interest lies in the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), especially for cross-modal generation (e.g., from vision to touch) and deep-learning-based tactile texture modelling and rendering. I am also interested in haptic interface design and psychophysical perception for virtual reality and augmented reality.
