THE
HUMAN
BEHIND
THE CODE

Hi, I'm Razi. I'm a software engineer and researcher with a keen eye in making computing feel intriguing and immersive, whether that's a 3D data visualisation floating in mixed reality or uncovering the visual beauty in a dataset.

I've worked across AR/VR/XR research, immersive analytics, Human-Computer Interaction and web development. I'm particularly drawn to problems that sit at the intersection of technology and human perception.

Graduated with three masters degrees from universities in Finland, France and Japan focusing on Extended Reality. Currently building things that push the boundaries of spatial computing and data visualisation.

Meta just axed the billion dollar metaverse. Whats next for XR?

Meta just axed the billion dollar metaverse. Whats next for XR?

The metaverse is in a bit of a slump right now. Meta announced recently that their flagship metaverse product; Horizon Worlds, is shutting down. This comes after the company invested over $80 Billion in the project alongside the whole brand shift from “Facebook” to “Meta”, signaling their intent in spearheading the future of VR/AR/XR and the metaverse. Unfortunately, things didn’t pan out as well as they wanted to. Firstly, Horizon Worlds only had 10,000 monthly users, which is incredibly low for a concurrent player base that even a basic steam game can achieve. Secondly, their bet on XR being the next big thing in tech hasn’t manifested yet, with most of its current earnings and company focus shifting to the hot new thing; AI.

Rotational Feedback Manipulation in Immersive VR
Immersive virtual reality technologies rely on locomotion and perception. This study explores how rotational distortion and cognitive load influence spatial disorientation.

Psychophysics as a Field
Psycophysics is a research field that seeks to understand psychological reactions and perceptions to stimuli. As our understanding of psychology and the human brain further developed, we came to the realisation that our psychological reactions and perceptions from our senses can be influenced by many different factors.
