We are a research lab led by Professor Qiao (Georgie) Jin in the Department of Computer Science at North Carolina State University.
Our group explores how Extended Reality (XR, including AR, VR and MR) and AI can be designed to support learning, collaboration, and social connection. Our research spans:
- Extended Reality: Immersive VR/AR environments, volumetric video for classrooms, tangible AR programming tools for children, and safety & privacy in XR
- Learning: VR classrooms for higher education, interactive volumetric video for embodied learning, tangible programming systems for children's computational thinking, and AI-powered chess teaching
- Collaboration: Collaborative VR video viewing for remote learning, intergenerational social play over distance, social robots for remote communication, and sibling connection across age gaps
To learn more, see our recent projects and publications.
