About
Xinyi Liao is a rising innovator in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), whose work centers on democratizing the creation of interactive shape displays through magnetic soft materials. Her landmark paper, "MagPixel: Modular Toolkit for Designing Interactive Magnetic Shape Displays" (2024), introduces a modular toolkit that empowers designers and researchers to fabricate responsive, flexible interfaces with unprecedented ease. By leveraging the instant responsiveness of magnetic materials, Liao’s contribution bridges the gap between advanced material science and accessible HCI design, enabling rapid prototyping of dynamic shape-changing surfaces. This work has already garnered 7 citations, signaling its growing influence in the field. Liao’s research not only advances the technical frontier of interactive displays but also lowers barriers for non-experts, fostering broader participation in tangible interface innovation. Her achievements reflect a commitment to making cutting-edge HCI tools practical and inclusive, positioning her as a key voice in the next wave of shape-display technology.
