Hi there! I am Luyao Shen, a Ph.D. student at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) under the supervision of Prof. Mingming Fan, and Prof. Pan Hui .
My current research interests include Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), User Experience (UX) Design, and Virtual Reality (VR).
I'm coming to the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in 2022 fall. I will be supervised by Prof. Mingming Fan and Prof. Pan Hui. I will be working on the project of User Experience (UX) design.
IJHCI
We introduce EmojiChat, an innovative VR museum experience designed to respect the social norms of traditionally keeping quiet while promoting natural interaction. We first design and iterate a customized emoji set for the museum context through semi-structured interviews, participatory design, and an online survey. Then, this emoji set is integrated into a VR museum to facilitate interaction between visitors. Finally, we conduct a comparative study to evaluate the performance of EmojiChat. Our results show that the integration of emojis can improve communication enjoyment and efficiency.
DIS 2024
We conducted four focus groups and eight semi-structured interviews with 26 UX practitioners to investigate how AIGC tools influence social dynamics in UX collaboration. Our findings indicated that AIGC tools not only mitigated conflicts but also introduced potential new conflicts. AIGC tools expanded the roles of UX practitioners and fostered a team culture characterized by exploring and discussing.
Ubicomp 2021
A wearable haptic device that renders intensity-adjustable pain sensations with chemical stimulants. We found that Douleur played a positive role in safety alert by significantly increasing participantsā immersive experiences with the induced pain sensation.
UIST 2020
A prototyping framework based on linkage mechanism, that provides typical motion templates and haptic renderers to facilitate proxy design of virtual hand tools. Based on interviews with expert designers, it was confirmed that HapLinkage is expressive in designing haptic proxy of hand tools to enhance VR experiences.
