Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolOliver Schneider is an Associate Professor and Haptician at the University of Waterloo who combines a decade-plus of HCI research with hands-on haptic system design and deployment. He leads the Haptic Experience (HX) Lab, where his team builds software and conceptual tools to scale haptics beyond lab demos toward real-world adoption. A former postdoc at the Hasso Plattner Institute and PhD student at UBC (with industry collaborations at Disney Research), he bridges psychology, design, and engineering to study multisensory computing. His work is notable for treating haptics as a full media—designing end-to-end systems and evaluation methods so anyone can work with touch like they do with visual or audio modalities.
