Jan Gugenheimer is an Assistant Professor (W2 TT) for Computer Science at TU Darmstadt. Previously, he was an Assistant Professor at Télécom Paris (Institut Polytechnique de Paris) inside the DIVA group. He is working on several topics around Mixed Reality (Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality). He received his Ph.D. from Ulm University, working on the topic of Nomadic Virtual Reality. During his studies, Jan worked within a variety of research labs at universities (ETH Zurich, MIT Media Lab) and research institutions (Daimler AG, IBM, Mercedes Benz Research and Development North America, Microsoft Research). His work is frequently published and awarded at leading HCI conferences such as UIST, CHI and CSCW. In his most recent research, Jan is exploring the potential negative and harmful impact of mixed reality technology.

Kasper Hornbæk received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Copenhagen, in 1998 and 2002, respectively. Since 2014 he has been a professor in computer science at the University of Copenhagen. His core research interests is human-computer interaction, including usability research, shape-changing interfaces, large displays, body-based user interfaces, and information visualization. He serves as the co-editor-in-chief for ACM Transactions on Human-computer Interaction and has served for more than 10 years as an associate chair for ACM conference on Human Factors in Computing, CHI. In 2020, he was induced to the CHI Academy. 

Hans is a Professor of Interactive Systems at Lancaster University and also affiliated with Aarhus University. His research interest is in HCI, human interface technology, and the design of novel sensing and interaction techniques for anything from smart devices to AR/VR. He is particularly interested in eye movement and won an ERC Advanced Grant in 2021 to investigate new foundations in for gaze and gestural interaction. His group has contributed major innovations on gaze in HCI, notably on smooth pursuit interfaces and techniques, gaze-supported manual input, and eye-head interaction. They have recently focussed on interaction in 3D but maintain long-standing interests in ubiquitous computing, cross-device interaction and interfaces that blend the digital and the virtual.

Joanna Bergström is an Associate Professor at the Department of Computer Science, University of Copenhagen. Her research is in human–computer interaction, and she is interested in all aspects of moving in HCI from motor learning and sensory feedback to experiences of agency and embodiment. Joanna has studied these with mobile devices, body-based user interfaces, and virtual reality. Currently, she and her team focuses on studying interaction techniques for VR, models of moving in VR, methods to evaluate HCI in VR, and  theories to improve interaction design for VR.

Teresa Hirzle received her Ph.D. in Computer Science from Ulm University, Germany in 2022. She is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Copenhagen and is also affiliated with the Pioneer Centre for Artificial Intelligence in Copenhagen. Her research interest is in human-computer interaction, in particular in interaction with extended reality systems. She is especially interested in eye-based interaction with virtual and augmented reality. Furthermore, she is currently exploring the intersection at extended reality and artificial intelligence.
