Four Eyes XR Lab, UC Santa Barbara

XR User Study Generator for Haptic Interaction Research

  • Developed a Unity-based XR experimental framework to generate counterbalanced user study trials using Balanced Latin Square design
  • Designed and implemented an interactive XR interface (Meta SDK) for configuring experiment parameters and generating trial sequences
  • Built structured JSON pipelines to export experiment configurations and participant data
  • Created Python validation scripts to ensure balanced experimental conditions across participants
  • Supported scalable XR user studies with automated trial generation and testing workflows

Role: Unity Developer / Research Engineer

Tech: Unity, C#, JSON, Meta SDK, Python

Code: Private (research project - will be released after publication)

XR User Perception Data Analysis

  • Built data processing pipelines to parse and transform XR experiment logs into structured datasets
  • PProcessed JSON-based interaction data (head movement, gaze, input events) to extract behavioral features
  • Modeled user perception and interaction patterns using trajectory and sequence-based analysis
  • Applied statistical methods (ANOVA, mixed-effects models) to evaluate experimental conditions

Tech: R, Python, JSON, Data Processing, Statistical Analysis
