  • Today’s mobile devices surpass desktop PCs in terms of computation ability, portability and pervasivity. However, the way we “use” and “understand” this miniaturization device is no superior to WIMP of old times. My research is to dig out new vocabularies for mobile-human-interaction, that in turn adds new opportunity to future mobile device. My tools include prototyping, software/hardware design, and computer vision.
