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 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!

If you are at ISMAR and want to chat about our work, Dr. Slawomir Tadeja, who served as the senior author of this paper, will be attending multiple workshops on Monday and Friday during ISMAR in Seattle, WA, USA.

Furthermore, co-author Prof Per Ola Kristensson will present our work described in the nominated paper during PS40 – Learning and Training 1 (Industrial Setting):

Should I Evaluate my Augmented Reality System in an Industrial Environment? Investigating the Effects of Classroom and Shop Floor Settings on Guided Manual Assembly

MiraGe enables the manipulation of 2D images within 3D space, creating the illusion of 3D effects. We integrate MiraGe with a physics engine, enabling physics-based modifications and interactions for both 2D and 3D environments.

Our work has been featured at UniteAI: Image Editing with Gaussian Splatting by Martin Andersson.

The paper was co-authored by Joanna Waczynska (first author!) and Piotr Borycki, who are both currently visiting postgraduate students with the Cyber-Human Lab (CHL). This research represents another effect of the ongoing collaboration between Prof Przemyslaw Spurek from Jagiellonian Univeristy in Krakow and Dr Slawomir Tadeja and Dr Thomas Bohné w CHL.
