About
Ho Yin Ng is a researcher at the forefront of human-computer interaction, specializing in extended reality (XR), haptic feedback, and exertion gaming. His work centers on integrating robotic systems into virtual environments to create physically immersive and safe training experiences. Ng’s major contribution is the development of the "MovableBag" platform, a substitutional robot that delivers encountered-type haptic feedback for high-intensity activities like boxing. This innovation addresses critical limitations in VR exergames, such as spatial constraints and the risk of injury to human trainers, by enabling realistic, full-body interaction through a moving physical proxy. His most cited paper, "MovableBag: Substitutional Robot for Enhancing Immersive Boxing Training with Encountered-Type Haptic" (2022), has garnered 10 citations and demonstrates how robotic haptics can replace human coaches in demanding physical tasks. Ng also explores asymmetric multi-user interaction in XR exergames, as seen in his 2022 follow-up work. With a growing citation record and a focus on substitutional reality, his research is paving the way for more engaging, exertion-based virtual experiences that blend the digital and physical worlds.
