Hello, my name is Kadek!
I am an HCI researcher and educator at Embodied Visualisation Group, Monash University, Australia. I am passionate about innovative computing technology applied to real-world problems for postive impacts. My research approach is focused on potential impacts, small steps toward a well-defined long-term vision, and collaborative and interdisciplinary efforts. A large part of my work revolves around techniques for understanding data through visualisation and/or multi-sensory data representations enabled by spatial computing technologies.

Immersive Globes
A collaboration between the Embodied Visualisation group and the David Rumsey Map Center at Stanford University to explore the future of immersive globes. The Globes application for Vision Pro that we developed has been published on the App Store.

ProxSituated Visualization: An Extended Model of Situated Visualization using Proxies for Physical Referents
We propose an extended model of situated visualization that encompasses Immediate Situated Visualization and ProxSituated (Proxy of Situated) Visualization.
Tangible Globes for Data Visualisation in AR
We explore the design of immersive geospatial data visualisation with AR and tangible globes. We investigate the 'tangible-virtual interplay' of tangible globes with virtual data visualisation, and propose a conceptual approach for designing immersive geospatial globes.
📢 Led to a collaboration with David Rumsey Map Center at Stanford University (2024)
Augmented Scale Models: Presenting Multivariate Data Around Physical Scale Models in Augmented Reality
We present augmented scale models, immersive visualisations that place charts of multivariate data via Augmented Reality (AR) registered to physical 3D models. We identified two main factors for presenting AR charts in the limited display space around the models and how the chart views are arranged in the 3D space.
Quantitative Data Visualisation on Virtual Globes
We explore two main design factors for quantitative data visualisation on virtual globes: i) commonly used primitives (2D bar, 3D bar, circle) and ii) the orientation of these primitives (tangential, normal, billboarded).

Maps Around Me: 3D Multiview Layouts in Immersive Spaces
Multiview map layouts, which present a hierarchy of multiple views to reveal detail at various scales and locations, have been shown to support better performance than traditional single-view exploration on desktop displays. This paper investigates the extension of such layouts of 2D maps into 3D immersive spaces, which are not limited by the real-estate barrier of physical screens and support sensemaking through spatial interaction.
Augmented Reality Map Navigation with Freehand Gestures
This work focuses on improving digital map navigation in AR with mid-air hand gestures, using a horizontal intangible map display.
Active Proxy Dashboard: Binding Physical Referents and Abstract Data Representations in Situated Visualization through Tangible Interaction
Myriad systems have been proposed in recent years involving situated visualization with tangible scale models as proxies for physical referents. Most of these focus on static placements of scale models that mimic their real-world arrangement. While such static placement is useful to show the spatial context of referents, it does not take full advantage of the potential interaction affordances of the proxies. Our approach, Active Proxy, binds the data representation and referent through physical manipulations of scale models.
