As a creative technologist\/engineer at Meta Reality Labs, Xin Feng is passionate about using creative technology and design to improve individual well-being, focusing on health, cognition, emotion, and social relationships. Feng is particularly interested in connecting the physical and virtual worlds through XR and other modalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q1. Please give us a brief bio of yourself and your background.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am passionate about creative technology and design on individual well-being including health, cognition, emotion and social relationships, and interested in bridging physical and virtual worlds through XR and other new modalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am currently a creative technologist\/engineer at Meta Reality Labs, where I work on the design and implementation of VR related user-facing features. Prior to Meta, I worked at Tencent game studio as a technical artist\/engineer, specializing in Houdini generative design for a 3A IP game and delivering human-centered gameplay experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q2. What’s your favorite kind of digital design and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like digital design that\u2019s interactive that utilizes various forms of feedback, i.e. human biofeedback including heart rate, EEG etc. My primary focus has consistently revolved around the enhancement of social well-being through the application of multimedia digital design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q3. To you what makes a ‘good’ design?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A “good” design would be user-centered and provides unique, novel and meaningful experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q4. Describe your design style and its main characteristics.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My creative style always starts from “ungroundedness” but gradually ground it to real human interaction with tangible interface. The main characteristics for my creative style or what I care the most are creative design ideas and novel human interaction paradigms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q5. Tell us about your design process.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From my experience, my design process is deeply rooted in everyday life. A design work usually starts with some speculations on existing user experiences (how we interact with the surroundings). Through further exploration and brainstorming, I come up with some ideas for specific audiences and then I craft the design with multimedia\/technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not the least, I will make sure the design is delivered as expected to the audience through some design iterations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winning Entry<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People tend to synchronize heart rates, breathing and neural rhythms during intimate physical and emotional exchange, which in turn enhances their mutual …
