About
Shijie Tang is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and human-robot interaction. His work centers on solving a fundamental challenge in immersive technology: how to maintain the illusion of presence in VR while enabling meaningful engagement with the physical world. Tang’s most cited paper, “Balancing Real-world Interaction and VR Immersion with AI Vision Robotic Arm” (2023), introduces a novel framework that uses AI-powered robotic arms as tangible proxies, allowing users to touch, manipulate, and feel real objects without breaking their virtual immersion. This contribution addresses a critical gap in VR usability—the inability to naturally interact with one’s environment—and has already garnered attention for its practical implications in training, therapy, and remote collaboration. By integrating computer vision with haptic feedback, Tang’s approach not only enhances realism but also expands the scope of VR applications beyond entertainment into industrial and assistive domains. Though early in his career, his work signals a shift toward more embodied, context-aware virtual experiences, positioning him as a rising voice in the quest to seamlessly blend digital and physical realities.
