Advancing AR & VR systems and XR content development research
Blending spatial realities through student innovation
Research Highlights
Students at Meteor Studio innovate at the intersection of engineering, design and the arts towards use-inspired XR research
Directed by Dr. Robert LiKamWa (Curriculum Vitae), Meteor Studio is an engineering laboratory and creative production house that advances Mobile Experiential Technologies through Embedded Optimization Research. Meteor Studio focuses on AR/VR systems research including
Operating systems and sensor interfaces for efficient visual / spatial sensing
Augmented senses in AR/VR (e.g., feel, sound, smell) for immersion and presence
Data-driven frameworks for collaborative storytelling and sensemaking in AR/VR
Meteor Studio sits across the School of Arts, Media & Engineering and the School of Electrical, Computer & Energy Engineering at Arizona State University. Our primary lab is in the Stauffer Communication Arts building on ASU's Tempe campus, with a satellite lab at the ASU Media and Immersive Experience (MIX) Center in Downtown Mesa.
We're always recruiting talented undergraduate and graduate students in Electrical Engineering; Computer Engineering; and Media, Arts, and Sciences. Send an email to likamwa@asu.edu with your CV/resume if you're interested in joining the lab!
