Meng Li

PhD researcher

Applied Ergonomics and Design – Human Centred Design Department – IDE

meng li

When I was working as a designer and a design educator years ago, I dreamed of bringing the user into space where the interaction of design concepts can be vividly experienced even before prototypes are made. This dream becomes my PhD project now. The goal of this study is developing a methodology to apply XR as a design tool to improve the user’s performance and satisfaction. It’s lucky to be a member of the XR community since 2017 when it just started, and I’m amazed to see it growing fast into a cross-disciplinary group full of endeavour, amusement and support. I’m enjoying exploring XR with the community and hope you join the wonderful group too.

Wo Meijer

Designer, Engineer, cool dude

Wo Meijer

For my graduation from Industrial Design at the TU Delft I wanted to push myself and push people's perceptions. So I built a tool about augmenting people's realities using multiple senses, tested the tool with two real life use cases, took one of those cases and build a working demo in Unity, and then validated the results of using the tool by showing that user perceptions were affected by a statistically significant amount!

As the Internet of things advances, the very notion of a clear dividing line between reality and virtual reality becomes blurred, sometimes in creative ways.

Virtual reality is the ‘ultimate empathy machine.’ These experiences are more than documentaries. They’re opportunities to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes.
