QIWEI ZHANG
Creative Technician, Digital Artist
I am currently an HCI Research Assistant at the Future Lab of Tsinghua University (QS Ranking 14).
I am also a Digital Artist cooperating with NIKE, developing a personal artwork series named 'FLOW LIFE'.
I distinction (A+) graduated from Creative Computing Institute at UAL with an interdisciplinary focus on the intersection of multi-sensory experience, machine learning, psychology, and interactive computing.
As a former co-founder of immersive experience startups, I have experimented with a lot of sensors and tangible interactions. There are more than 10,000 players in the first year. Through user testing and iteration, I've mastered good interaction perception and insights from users. After that, focus on mixed reality, augmented sensory experience, and brainwave interaction, such as adding sensory experience through more dimensional interaction possibilities.
