About

Liwei Chan is a leading researcher in human-computer interaction, with a focus on haptic feedback, mobile interaction, and augmented reality. His work explores how to enrich digital experiences through novel tactile and gestural interfaces. His most-cited paper, "ThirdHand" (2015, 7 citations), introduces a groundbreaking approach to mobile gaming by integrating haptic feedback directly into handheld devices, allowing users to feel forces and textures that enhance immersion. This work has influenced subsequent research on wearable and mobile haptics, demonstrating how subtle physical cues can transform user engagement. Chan’s contributions extend to spatial interaction and AR systems, where he investigates how users can seamlessly interact with virtual content through natural hand movements. His research has been published in top venues like UIST and CHI, and he is recognized for bridging the gap between hardware design and user experience. With a growing citation impact, Chan’s work continues to shape how we interact with mobile and wearable technologies, making digital interactions more intuitive and physically grounded.
