About me

Alston grew up in Shanghai (China) and pursued his undergraduate study at the City University of Hong Kong where he continued as a Ph.D. student under the supervision of Dr. Alvaro Cassinelli at the Augmented Materiality Lab, School of Creative Media. Being exposed to diverse people and cultures, he was fascinated by how people interact with each other regardless of their “properties”. 

In particular, he has been researching how people understand objects under a bidirectional remote interaction environment, for example, how 3D objects could be better understood with both plain displays and mixed reality techniques.
