Adam Drogemuller

Dr Drogemuller holds a PhD and works at the intersection of human-computer interaction and immersive technologies. His research interests centre on human-centred computing, immersive analytics, data physicalisation, and tangible user interfaces. 

Research Focus
His work explores how people perceive and interact with data through virtual, augmented, and physical means — including:

• Virtual and augmented reality interaction techniques
• Data physicalisation (representing data as tangible physical objects)
• Immersive analytics and 3D data visualisation
• Embodiment and haptics in mixed reality
