Han-Chih is an interaction researcher, engineer and entrepreneur. He is passionate about tangible user interface (TUI), augmented reality and rapid prototyping tools. His works have been published at ACM CHI or UIST, the top conferences in the field of human-computer interaction. To seamlessly connect physical and digital, he believes the future interfaces will move towards modular, self-reconfiguring and distributed. His ultimate vision is to disrupt the boundary between physical and virtual world and seamlessly weave the power of human and machine. He graduated and received his Master of Business Administration degree at Communication and Multimedia Laboratory of National Taiwan University. Currently, he co-founded GaussToys Inc. with his colleagues to evolve his research projects into sustainable products.
