Ziyao He, M.Sc.
Short Bio
I completed my Bachelor's and Master's at the University of Konstanz in Computer and Information science, focused on Human-Computer Interaction. My bachelor thesis began with a visualization of bird trajectory data in virtual reality and then I learned different sampling algorthims to simplfy the trajectory. During my master period I worked as a hiwi student and developed a strong interest in XR and robotics. To prove our priowork, a scientific and logic mindset is required for planing and conducting user studies. I'm pursuing my PhD in the Virtual and Augmented Reality Group since May 2025, focusing on the intraoperative XR support for liver surgery. And I have gained international experience by being an international student.
Research Interests
In general, computer-assisted surgery in mixed reality involves:
- Object deformation
- Mid-air gestures
- Object manipulation techniques
