Research overview
This manuscript examines embodied multimodal mixed reality in the context of firefighter sensemaking and cognitive load. It connects visual and thermal cues within a simulated fire environment.
Multimodal cues for sensemaking
How can visual and thermal information support awareness and decisions in a simulated fire?
My role in this research program
Built thermal haptic hardware and developed the FDS data pipeline that connected simulated fire conditions with sensory feedback in XR.
Connection to my broader work
The technical challenge of delivering realistic cues led to questions about simpler devices and the way users interpret feedback.
