About

Chia-Hui Lin is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, virtual reality, and exertion gaming. Their work fundamentally explores how to make digital physical activity more immersive and tangible. Lin’s major contributions lie in designing novel systems that combine multisensory feedback, robotics, and exertion interaction. The landmark paper "Metapunch X" (2024, 6 citations) introduced a groundbreaking framework that merges multi-display environments with encountered-type haptic feedback for e-sports, directly addressing the gap between watching and playing in the multiverse. Building on this, "Hit Around" (2025, 2 citations) advanced the field by employing substitutional moving robots to deliver realistic, physical sensations during exertion-based VR interactions. This work is notable for its innovative use of substitutional reality—where real objects stand in for virtual ones—to create a more authentic and engaging exercise experience. Lin’s research is highly impactful for its potential to transform sedentary screen time into active, embodied play, offering new pathways for fitness, rehabilitation, and competitive gaming. Their work has been recognized for its creative integration of robotics and VR, positioning Lin as a key voice in the future of immersive, physically active digital experiences.
