Hi there! 👋

I'm Xinan "William" Yan — an HCI & XR researcher and systems builder working on next-generation spatial interaction, gaze & freehand input, and human-computer interaction modeling.

I build research prototypes and developer-facing systems for:

  • 👁️ Gaze & Eye-Tracking Interaction (task-aligned correction, latency & stability optimization)
  • ✋ Freehand & Spatial Manipulation (3D steering, polyhedron face selection, multimodal input)
  • ⌨️ Text Entry & Wearable Interaction (on-body tap typing, spatial UI)
  • 📐 HCI Performance Modeling (uncertainty modeling, automated evaluation pipelines)

Currently affiliated with XJTLU, and HKUST(GZ).
