About

Chenfeng Gao is a pioneering researcher in human-computer interaction, specializing in actuated tangible user interfaces and spatial embodied interaction. Their most notable contribution is the development of AeroRigUI, a groundbreaking system presented in 2023 that transforms everyday ceiling spaces into interactive environments. This work introduces a novel approach using self-propelled swarm robots with reeling mechanisms to control physical objects' position and orientation in the air through strings, effectively creating actuated tangible user interfaces for 3D spatial interaction. The system has garnered 20 citations, demonstrating its significant impact on the field of interactive spaces. Gao's research bridges the gap between robotics and UI design, offering innovative solutions for spatial computing and embodied interaction. Their work on AeroRigUI represents a major advancement in how we can interact with physical objects in mid-air, opening new possibilities for augmented reality, smart environments, and collaborative workspaces. This pioneering approach to rigging swarm robots on ceilings showcases Gao's ability to reimagine everyday spaces as dynamic, interactive platforms.
