Designing holographic user interfaces made me interested in being a UX/UI researcher for Virtual/Augmented/Mixed Realities. Therefore, I started my Ph.D. at iSpace lab, Simon Fraser University, to improve my design skills and learn how to perform usability tests and evaluation experiments. During my Ph.D., I designed several VR interfaces and evaluated their user experience compared to standard interfaces using mixed research methods, including both qualitative research methods to seek individual user feedback and quantitative research methods for the overall evaluation of the interface. The main focus of my research was designing travel interfaces in VR/Metaverse applications, which can be used by home users in first-person shooter gaming, architectural walkthrough, flying, driving, etc.
