HCI / XR / Multi-Agent Systems / Affective Computing / Multimodal Interaction
Hi, I'm Zhao Zirui.
Bare-hand interaction on AR glasses.
About Me
I design and build XR interaction. I am currently a Unity Interaction Engineer at VITURE, working on gesture, gaze and spatial UI for AR glasses — from SDK-level prototypes to product-facing demos. Alongside that I keep a research line in HCI: emotion-aware interaction, and how AI agents shape what people believe about the systems they are inside, with work at CHI EA 2026 and IEEE VR 2026. An architecture background is still how I think about atmosphere, structure, and human presence in virtual space.

AI Town
A resident you author but never control, and a 24-participant study of how creators explain the life that follows.
Skyvine
Tabletop AR tower-defense roguelike for AR glasses, played entirely with bare hands.
Stellar Forge
A deckbuilder where half the build lives on a disc floating in front of you: spirits placed side by side form a resonance chain.
Tabletop
A spatial second screen: your Rhino or Blender model live on the real desk while you keep modelling.
