about me.

Hi, I’m Renate Nana Zhang.

I am a Master of Science student in Media and Human-Centered Computing at the TU Wien. Currently, I work as a research assistant at Aalto University in Helsinki, within the Computational Behavior Lab led by Antti Oulasvirta.

My research interests lie at the intersection of human-computer interaction, augmented reality, and virtual reality. I first explored these topics in my bachelor’s thesis, where I investigated different locomotion techniques in VR, including walking, steering, and teleportation.
I am now completing my master’s thesis, “Immersive Real-Time Language Translator for Augmented Reality”, at the Virtual and Augmented Reality Research Unit of TU Wien.
