I am Jenkai liu
I’m a Software Engineer with 3+ years of experience in VR/AR/MR, specializing in human–computer interaction, immersive experiences, and multi-user systems.
In college, I directed and developed Reborn, a VR narrative selected for SIGGRAPH Asia VR Theater, marking my first step into immersive storytelling and XR development.
Since then, my work has spanned live performance, cultural heritage, and immersive installations, with projects shown internationally at SIGGRAPH, SXSW, and Ars Electronica.
With cross-disciplinary expertise in software engineering, interaction design, and digital art, I strive to create innovative digital experiences that make imagination tangible.
