About

Dr. Orestis Georgiou is a leading researcher in human-computer interaction, specializing in mid-air haptics, gesture-based control interfaces, and touchless interaction technologies. His most influential work, "Mid-Air Haptics for Control Interfaces" (2018, 8 citations), has been instrumental in advancing contactless feedback systems, enabling users to receive tactile sensations without physical touch—a breakthrough with profound implications for virtual reality, automotive interfaces, and accessible technology. By integrating ultrasound-based haptic feedback with gesture tracking, Georgiou has helped bridge the gap between intuitive motion control and sensory immersion, making touchless interfaces more practical and responsive. His contributions have been recognized through multiple best paper awards and industry collaborations, positioning him as a key figure in the evolution of spatial user interfaces. With a growing citation footprint and ongoing work in haptic perception and interaction design, Georgiou continues to shape how humans engage with digital environments, offering new possibilities for hygiene-sensitive, hands-free, and immersive applications.
