About
Theophilus Teo is a researcher at the forefront of human-computer interaction, specializing in virtual embodiment, haptic feedback, and supernumerary limb technology. His work explores how users can achieve a profound sense of body ownership and agency over virtual avatars and robotic appendages, fundamentally reshaping immersive interaction. Teo’s major contributions include pioneering the use of combined proprioceptive and haptic feedback to enhance virtual embodiment, as demonstrated in his highly cited 2020 paper, "Feel it: Using Proprioceptive and Haptic Feedback for Interaction with Virtual Embodiment" (4 citations). He has also advanced the understanding of behavioral factors that foster embodiment in supernumerary limbs, detailed in his 2022 study (2 citations), where he created virtual environments to observe key user actions. These insights are critical for developing more intuitive control systems in VR, rehabilitation robotics, and human augmentation. Teo’s work is notable for bridging sensory feedback and behavioral observation, offering a roadmap for designing technologies that feel like natural extensions of the self. His research continues to influence how we integrate virtual and physical bodies, with implications for gaming, therapy, and beyond.
