Yujie Hong’s doctoral work studies virtual reality and augmented reality’s applications in architecture and design. Her current research focuses on augmented reality in construction. Coming from a non-architectural background, she is trying to integrate knowledge from other disciplines into the architectural domain.

Her projects have explored the integration of VR/AR in education, gaming, film and art. She has presented papers at the SIGGRAPH Asia, ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology, ACM Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work and at Zhejiang University. Her works have been published in Florence Design Week 2017 and Red Dot Design Award “Best of the Best” 2013. She holds a Master in Design Studies (Technology) degree from the Harvard Graduate School of Design, and a Master of Engineering (Computer Applications) degree from Zhejiang University. She has interned at NetEase Games as an interaction designer/ project manager and at ISEE INC, a Cambridge-based AR startup.
