About
Dr. Xiaoxuan Xiong is a pioneering researcher in human-computer interaction, with a focus on telepresence, shared outdoor activities, and embodied social technologies. Her most-cited work, "Geocaching with a Beam" (2018, 78 citations), fundamentally explores how remote individuals can meaningfully engage in physical, location-based experiences together, bridging geographic divides through robotic telepresence. This influential study illuminates both the profound benefits—such as fostering connection and shared adventure—and the significant challenges of designing for synchronous, mobile social interaction. Dr. Xiong’s research has shaped how we think about remote presence, moving beyond static video calls to dynamic, co-located experiences in natural environments. Her contributions are critical for advancing accessible, inclusive technologies that support families and friends separated by distance, enabling them to share walks, hikes, and explorations. By tackling the complexities of embodiment, spatial awareness, and social presence, Dr. Xiong’s work has garnered attention from both academic and industry communities, establishing her as a key voice in the future of connected, active living.
