Marium-E- Jannat

My current work focuses primarily on the user interfaces and interaction for Augmented Reality in diverse mobility and usage contexts. My research is conducted primarily through the lens of User Performance and User Experience of the design and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). My research aims to provide access to digital information within Augmneted Reality environment anytime, anywhere through XR headsets. I have published at top HCI venues including conferences such as CHI, ISMAR, and journals such as the International Journal of Human-Computer Studies (IJHCS) and IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics (TVCG).
