I’m Jassy. I explore how interactive technologies can help people experience, understand, and shape the cities they live in.
How can women’s everyday experiences inform the design of small public spaces in Hong Kong? A web-based 3D environment helps participants locate concerns and discuss possible alternatives.
The research combines formative interviews with co-design sessions. Participants explore recognizable spatial settings, mark their concerns, and use AI-generated images to make design ideas more concrete and open to discussion.
A mobile system exploring how place recommendations, photography prompts, and post-walk reflection can support wandering through the city.
WanderWith brings together destination-based wandering, context-aware photo tasks, lightweight capture, and an AI-supported walk summary. An exploratory in-the-wild study examines the immediate experience of using these features.
A campus-based mixed reality exhibition exploring how digital art can inhabit existing indoor and outdoor environments.
Four exhibition zones connect virtual artworks with physical surroundings. Expert and visitor studies examine curation, movement, engagement, and the challenges of presenting mixed reality art in shared spaces.
An emerging research direction exploring what makes walking through a city meaningful, and how technology might support attention, discovery, and engagement with place.
How do people notice and interpret their surroundings? What can urban design and architecture contribute to interactive walking experiences? How can technology support a walk while leaving room for curiosity?
I’m a PhD student at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, with a research focus on Urban HCI.
My work connects people’s lived experiences with interactive systems: from discussing public-space concerns to exploring a neighborhood or encountering art in place.
Begin with people’s routines, memories, and situated concerns to understand what matters in everyday urban life.
Use interactive prototypes and visual representations to help people articulate experiences and explore alternatives.
Examine how systems are experienced in relation to physical settings, social situations, and the people who use them.
