Dr. Xinyi Tu, a former visitor to our lab, has recently presented work she conducted during her visit to Cambridge at the prestigious 33rd IEEE Conference on Virtual Reality and 3D User Interfaces (IEEE VR). Xinyi, together with another visiting student, Bene Hartmann, worked on assessing the readiness of current state-of-the-art augmented reality (AR) technology for deployment in industry. Congratulations to Xinyi and Bene, and to all the co-authors, including Prof. Per Ola Kristensson from Cambridge and Dr. John Liu from MIT, as well as our own Prof Thoms Bohné and Dr. Slawomir Tadeja from CHL. The paper has also been selected for publication in a special issue of the IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics (IEEE TVCG) by the IEEE Computer Society!

Over the last year, four students from the MPhil in Industrial Systems, Manufacture, and Management at the Institute for Manufacturing (IfM), namely, Adya Hegde, Za Baylis, Andrew Pasco, and Neeraj Jain, carried out their theses as part of the Cyber-Human Lab (CHL) under the direct supervision of Dr Sławomir Tadeja and Dr Thomas Bohné. All four theses were carried out as part of a collaboration between the Cyber-Human Lab (CHL) in Cambridge and the MIT Learning Engineering Practice (LEAP) Group.

We are proud to say that all the results of these student-led projects have been translated into scientific manuscripts currently undergoing peer review. One of the thesis projects, by Adya Hegde, has already been published:

A. Hegde et al., “Towards Expert Knowledge Capture with Virtual Reality: Exploring Immersive Elicitation of CAD Models for 3D Printing,” 2025 IEEE International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality Adjunct (ISMAR-Adjunct), Daejeon, Korea, Republic of, 2025, pp. 456-465, doi: 10.1109/ISMAR-Adjunct68609.2025.00092.

Furthermore, another Zachary Baylis obtained a distinction and a final grade of 83% for his thesis, ranking first overall in his MPhil ISMM cohort! Congratulations, Zac! Whilst Andrew Pasco is continuing his education at Stanford, working towards his M.S. Mechanical Engineering (Robotics) ’27.

Christine Saeedi-Givi represented the Cyber-Human Lab at this year’s 2025 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics (SMC), held in Vienna, Austria. Christine presented our paper on how AR technology can be utilised to support upper limbs exoskeleton fitting. She has previously interned with CHL and later worked on collecting data for her BA thesis. She is now a doctoral student with our lab – congratulations!
