About

Laurie Van Bogaert is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of virtual reality, tele-robotics, and immersive human-machine interaction. Her work centers on developing next-generation telepresence systems that merge holographic vision with haptic feedback, enabling operators to remotely control robotic arms with unprecedented sensory immersion. Her most-cited paper, "Tele-Robotics VR with Holographic Vision in Immersive Video" (2022), introduces a first-of-its-kind end-to-end system where users are virtually transported into a remote scene, experiencing force feedback and holographic depth perception—a significant leap beyond conventional stereoscopic head-mounted displays. This foundational contribution has garnered early recognition with 3 citations, reflecting its novelty and potential to reshape fields like telesurgery, hazardous environment exploration, and remote manufacturing. Van Bogaert’s work is notable for challenging the limitations of traditional VR by prioritizing holistic sensory integration, offering a glimpse into a future where distance and physical barriers dissolve. Her achievements mark her as a rising voice in immersive technology, with implications for both academic research and practical applications in robotics and human augmentation.
