Teaching
Bridging Physical & Digital
Our teaching philosophy centres on phygital — the seamless integration of physical making and digital computation. We believe the next generation of designers must move fluidly between material craft, computational thinking, and immersive technologies.
Learn by Making
Hands-on fabrication, prototyping, and material experimentation form the core of every course.
Compute & Code
Computational design, parametric modelling, and creative coding as essential literacy.
Immerse & Experience
XR, game engines, and spatial computing to prototype future environments.
PolyU Courses
Core subjects offered at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, School of Design.

After the Tide — Tracing Heritage through AI and XR
A half-day workshop transforming spatial evidence from traditional paintings and heritage sites into generative narratives and immersive public experiences.
Game Makers Workshop
A hands-on summer workshop in which student teams developed game mechanics, spatial interactions and narrative ideas into presentable XR game prototypes.
AI·镜像——虚实交融的空间叙事实验营
香港理工大学与北京邮电大学联合工作营,以AI辅助的空间探索与叙事构建为核心,融合生成式AI、XR技术与叙事设计。

Yibo Science Day — XR Young Pioneers
Primary students explored plastic recycling and architectural design through two short, embodied XR learning stations.

Neo-Hong Kong Meta-Visions
An industry-linked studio translating speculative urban narratives into furniture prototypes, immersive experiences and a public exhibition.

Fantasy Hong Kong — A Playful Spatial Narrative Design of “What If…”
An EDU Corner workshop using generative AI, film, mythology and literature to imagine alternative versions of Hong Kong.
Interactive XR Design for Discrete Bamboo Structures
Immersive bamboo chair construction workshop blending traditional craft with XR visualisation, point cloud scanning and parametric joint design.

Little Town Dream Factory — AI Character Design
Young participants created an AI-town resident through character writing, image generation, animation and identity-card design.
Workshop - Phygital Modular Structure
Integrating gamification, digital twin and extended reality (XR) into a Phygital system that combines physical models with digital interfaces for rapid, customizable XR interactive design scenarios.
Featured Student Works
Selected projects from SD5975 Virtual and Augmented Reality, developed through spatial design, embodied interaction and immersive storytelling.
