We are the Immersive Visualization & Interaction Lab (or IVI Lab for short), which is part of the Georgia Tech Visualization Lab (GTVis Lab).


At IVI Lab, we are passionate about the ever-evolving landscape of display and interaction technologies. With VR/AR becomes increasingly popular, we envision a future where these technologies seamlessly integrate into both personal and business domains. To contribute this exciting future, we study how to harness the full potential of VR/AR to enhance existing workflows and to unlock new experiences that were once unimaginable with conventional computing devices.


Our research is centered around two core themes: 1) designing and building novel visualization and interaction techniques in VR/AR; and 2) investigating human factors in using interactive systems in VR/AR.


Prospective Students/Visitors
First, take a look at the videos on this page. If they inspire you and you want to design, implement and evaluate your own interactive systems, we have opportunities for you!

We may have Ph.D. positions for 2027 Fall. We're looking for candidates passionate about VR/AR/VIS/HCI research with solid programming and technical skills, particularly in Unity3D/d3js/WebXR or similar platforms. First-author publication experience is highly desirable.

We also welcome visiting researchers, students, and research interns with aligned research interests. Most, if not all, of our visitors achieve first-author publication as a result of their research conducted with our group.

If you believe you're a good match, please get in touch. Contact the PI (Yalong Yang) or any current Ph.D. student in the group. Ensure you include your CV and a statement detailing your technical skills, experience, and research interests.
