Xingyao Yu

Researcher in XR and HCI

About Me

I am Xingyao Yu (余兴尧), a Ph.D. student in Visualization Research Center (VISUS), at University of Stuttgart and at Stuttgart Center of Simulation Science (SimTech), supervised by Prof. Dr. Michael Sedlmair. I received my Bachelor degree in Applied Physics and Master degree in Optical Engineering from Beijing Institute of Technology. My research interests are in human-computer interaction (HCI) and extended reality (XR, including VR, AR and MR), especially in user experience, motion guidance and on-body visualzation in XR.
