About

Ferran Argelaguet is a prominent researcher working at the intersection of virtual and augmented reality, haptic feedback, and human-computer interaction. His work spans several cutting-edge domains, including brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), embodiment in virtual environments, and advanced haptic technologies, positioning him as a key contributor to the future of immersive computing. Among his most influential contributions is his 2018 investigation into BCI-based interaction for augmented reality, which garnered 144 citations and demonstrated the feasibility of hands-free control in AR settings — a significant step toward accessible, movement-free interfaces. His 2020 work on "virtual co-embodiment," cited over 100 times, introduced a groundbreaking paradigm allowing two individuals to simultaneously share control of a single virtual avatar, opening rich possibilities for collaborative VR experiences and human-robot interaction. Argelaguet has also made substantial contributions to haptic feedback research, conducting systematic reviews and meta-analyses on electrotactile feedback for hand and arm interactions, amassing over 100 citations across related publications. His more recent explorations into thermal haptic feedback and encountered-type haptic displays further reflect his commitment to making virtual interactions feel natural and emotionally resonant. His body of work represents a compelling vision of deeply embodied, multimodal human-computer interaction.
