About
Meteor Studio

Our Vision

Meteor Studio is first and foremost an educational environment, geared for training graduate and undergraduate students to become high-potential XR researchers, engineers, designers and artists primarily through applied research and design projects. Its mission is to grow students to become innovative leaders, equipped with:
☄️Forward-looking aptitude & scholarship;
☄️Imagination & whimsy;
☄️Professionalism & integrity; and
☄️Resourcefulness & mindfulness.

What We Do

Advanced visual capture and processing systems

Visual data allows computers to see the world around them, with practical application to continuous object/face recognition and pose estimation (augmented reality/virtual reality).

Our projects aim to advance the potential of mobile/wearable/IoT visual computing systems through solutions to balance low power and task performance, and solutions to guarantee user privacy.

Systems for hybrid virtual-physical immersion through augmentation of senses

Immersive systems mix the virtual and physical realities. Faithful representations are not only important for training and education, but also for giving the user a deeper sense of psychological presence with both the virtual and physical world.

Our projects aim to immersively integrate virtual objects in physical worlds and/or physical objects in virtual worlds, e.g., through light estimation, smell, fluid haptics, etc.

Design frameworks for data-driven augmented reality and virtual reality storytelling

AR/VR software development is highly technical and intricate, with a steep learning curve, especially for those who are not developers. We seek to broaden access to the potential of AR/VR systems by connecting to practical use cases and experiences, through design projects and/or by creating toolkits and frameworks for broad use.
