About
Susanne Schmidt is a leading researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, extended reality (XR), and artificial intelligence. Her work explores how intelligent virtual agents (VAs) can move beyond simple voice commands to become embodied, humanoid presences that enrich human-agent communication. In her highly cited 2020 paper, "Intelligent Blended Agents," she pioneered the concept of blending reality and virtuality, demonstrating how artificially intelligent embodied virtual humans can support everyday tasks like scheduling and fitness monitoring. This work, with 22 citations, laid the groundwork for more natural and intuitive human-AI interactions in mixed reality environments. More recently, Schmidt has turned her attention to the transformative potential of radiance fields—including Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) and 3D Gaussian Splatting—for XR. Her 2025 survey on this topic, while newly published, signals her role in shaping how photorealistic view synthesis can revolutionize immersive experiences. Through her research, Schmidt is defining how next-generation XR systems can seamlessly integrate intelligent, visually compelling agents into our physical world.
