About Us:
The Situated Reality (SiR) Lab (香港大學情境現實實驗室) at the Department of Data and Systems Engineering (DASE), The University of Hong Kong (HKU), conducts research in Human–Computer Interaction (HCI), with a focus on extended reality (XR—including VR, AR, MR, and smart glasses) and intelligent spatial computing. SiR@HKU is led by Assistant Professor Xiang Li (李想).
We’re hiring! Learn more about open positions on our "Join Us!" page 🚀
Our work explores three closely related directions (also see the Research page for more details):
AI-driven context-aware interaction: How intelligent systems can perceive context and enable adaptive, seamless interaction in everyday environments.
Body-centric and embodied interfaces: How embodied and body-centered interaction techniques can augment human capabilities through physical engagement.
Deployable XR systems: The design and implementation of robust, deployable immersive VR and CAVE systems for real-world application domains, including social XR, the future of work, robotics, education, healthcare, multimedia systems, manufacturing, training, and simulation.
We are also keen to explore other emerging topics at the intersection of AI and XR.
Across these directions, we place a strong emphasis on system-level design and engineering, translating interactive XR research into robust, deployable systems that address real-world needs. We are also keen to explore emerging topics at the intersection of AI and XR.
By integrating XR, sensing, and intelligent systems, SiR@HKU aims to design situated, human-centered interfaces that naturally blend digital experiences into the physical world.
