Fatemeh (Naz) Hadavandkhani works across human–computer interaction, UI/UX Design, human–AI interaction, mixed reality, and interactive systems.
HyperVision enables users to generatively transform their mixed-reality passthrough view using text, sketches, masks, and virtual elements. A 20-participant study examines how transformation strength affects recognizability, creativity, coherence, and control.
DreamPortal allows users to author behaviors across virtual objects, physical environments, and IoT devices using natural language in mixed reality. A 20-participant study examines how people express, execute, inspect, revise, and compose behaviors.
Naz's MSc thesis explores how context-aware AR/AI systems can recognize events in everyday environments and proactively assist users when their attention is elsewhere.
