I'm Jieru Dong. I study how we see, interpret and interact with digital information — from visual comfort in XR to the subtle mechanics of attention.
What changes when a machine learns to see? My work explores visual understanding, image enhancement and accessible systems that translate visual signals into useful meaning.
Through XR and spatial interfaces, I investigate how information can become part of the physical world — where distance, depth and context shape interaction.
A selection of research-driven prototypes. The visual studies below are editorial diagrams, not results; real project footage and photographs will replace them in the finished site.
Investigating how device health and physical camera location can be represented in extended reality. The work explores whether spatial hierarchy and situated interaction can reduce the effort of identifying problematic devices.
Explore interactive case study ↗A study framework examining virtual depth, visual comfort, and interaction. The focus is on the relationship between stereoscopic presentation and perceptual experience.
Explore depth interaction ↗An accessibility-focused system combining image restoration, vision–language models, and speech interaction to support users in understanding product information in everyday shopping.
Try before / after comparison ↗Viewpoint-dependent mobile AR interaction and spatial narrative.
A collaborative interactive project on memory, dreams, and shifting realities.
Browser-based camera tracking experiments with hands and faces.
The central thread in my work is not a single device or algorithm, but what happens when computational systems encounter human senses, decisions, and physical space.
Interfaces situated in the physical world, not confined to a flat screen.
Visual comfort, depth, attention, and how perception shapes experience.
Visual understanding and image enhancement that make digital systems more aware of context.
Interactions that remain legible, useful, and under human direction.
I’m Jieru Dong, currently studying Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality at Lund University. My background in Information Science and Engineering and my ongoing work in XR have shaped an interest in how technical systems are perceived, understood, and used.
My work combines interaction design with implementation: building spatial interfaces, integrating multimodal AI and preparing studies that can test how people understand and use them. Interactive diagrams explain the concepts; original project captures document the prototypes.
Open to master’s thesis conversations about spatial interaction, human perception and human-centred AI. Based in Malmö and studying at Lund University.
