I worked on two projects: one with a user study comparing different ways of presenting architectural data (standard map printout vs. desktop-monitor setup vs. VR experience) to prospective residents of a building, and one about AR attention guidance systems for immersive live/show viewing experiences.

I designed and developed Kantenbouki VR, a virtual reality application that teaches users about clouds for localized weather reporting, allowing weather experts and novices to draw/annotate distant objects on a 360-degree camera image of the outside environment. I conducted an exploratory design study, recruited Japanese weather experts and Filipino students. I co-authored a poster paper (as first author) with my internship supervisor for an international conference.
