Who we are

We are a broad international group, including established and early-career researchers and students across academia and industry; with expertise in HCI, Psychology, Design and Fabrication and a strong interest in cross-sensory interaction.

Oussama Metatla

Associate Professor of Human–Computer Interaction at the University of Bristol. He leads the Diverse-Ability Interaction Lab and researches inclusive, cross-sensory interaction, embodied cognition, and participatory design. PI of the ERC Consolidator project inclusiveXplay.

Susan Min Li

Senior Research Fellow at the University of Bristol with a background in experimental psychology. Her work focuses on multisensory and crossmodal perception, sensory compensation, and spatio-temporal processing across the senses.

Feng Feng

Postdoctoral Researcher at Aarhus University with training in cognitive science and industrial design. Her research bridges cross-sensory perception, affective interaction, and constructive design research, including cross-cultural perspectives.

Cameron Steer

Lecturer at the University of the West of England. His work explores deformable and shape-changing interfaces, focusing on multisensory tangible interaction and physical–digital design principles.

Michael Proulx

Research Scientist at Meta Reality Labs Research and Professor of Cognition and Technology at the University of Bath. He directs the Crossmodal Cognition Lab and researches perception, sensory substitution, and cognition in virtual and real environments.

Meike Scheller

Assistant Professor of Psychology at Durham University. Her research investigates cross-modal plasticity and how people learn to use novel sensory information, particularly in sighted and visually impaired populations.

Tegan Roberts-Morgan

PhD researcher at the University of Bristol studying cross-sensory correspondences and metaphors in early childhood. Her work focuses on inclusive, cross-sensory social play for blind and sighted children.
