Can XR understand us
without exposing us?

My research began with emotion-aware AI, moved into behavioral identification, and evolved into privacy-preserving immersive analytics. I kept asking one question: how can XR become intelligent without becoming invasive?

The question behind the work
“If we’re using AI to replace artists and developers, why not use it to replace human identification, to protect our privacy instead of exploiting it?”
