Congratulations to Md. Jahirul Islam for successfully completing his MS thesis defense. 

New Funding Alert! Our lab has been awarded a DARPA ICS project titled “VeriPro: Verified Probabilistic Cognitive Reasoning for Tactical Mixed Reality Systems,” with a funding amount of $400,000 (August 2024 - Present).

Welcome New Team Members! Two new graduate students have joined the HiX Lab: Nasim (MS-CS Student) and Ridwan (CS-PhD Student). We are excited to have them on board!

Summer Research Fellow! We’re thrilled to announce that Dr. Islam (Director of HiX lab) received the Summer Research Fellowship at KSU for Summer 2024.

Publication News! Our latest paper, “Investigating Personalization Techniques for Improved Cybersickness Prediction in Virtual Reality Environments,” has been accepted for publication in the IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics (TVCG) track for IEEE VR 2024 (acceptance rate ~10%).

Funding Alert! We’ve also secured funding from DEVCOM Army Research Lab for the project “Towards Personalized Automatic Cybersickness Prediction and Reduction for Army Personnel,” with a total grant of $465,000 (December 2023 - Present). Our lab’s portion is $151,000.

Keynote Speaker! We delivered a keynote on “Towards Intelligent and Data-driven Adaptive Extended Reality” at the Data4XR workshop during IEEE VR 2023.

Our Paper “LiteVR: Interpretable and Lightweight Cybersickness Detection using Explainable AI” accepted at IEEE VR 2023. Congratulations to the collaborators! (video presentation)(Accepted for Conference, Acceptance Rate: 21%)
