Nanjia Wang (nanjia.wang1@ucalgary.ca) is a Ph.D. student at the SEER lab under the supervision of Dr. Maurer. His work focuses on single-user cross-reality (CR) applications. His research goal is to exploit the potential benefits of single-user CR applications, including the ability to transition between spaces on the Milgram’s Reality Virtuality Continuum (RVC) that are most suitable for specific tasks. Nanjia is a member of the 1st Joint Workshop on Cross Reality program committee.
Andrea Bellucci (abellucc@inf.uc3m.es) is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (Spain). His research in the area of Human-Computer Interaction focuses on the End-User Development, exploring tangible and embodied interactions for the creation and adaptation of XR experiences, allowing people to configure, tailor, and program XR technology in the same environment where they live and act, in a more natural way and according to their needs and circumstances.
