Renan Guarese
HCI/AR Postdoctoral Fellow at
Postdoctoral Researcher in Human-Computer Interaction and Augmented Reality at KTH - Sweden, currently working with data visualization in AR/VR for a pharmaceutical manufacturing scenario, partnered with AstraZeneca. Obtained his Ph.D. degree in Computer Science at RMIT - Australia, working with sonified augmented reality; and his M.Sc. in Computer Science at UFRGS - Brazil, working with situated data visualization. Taught courses in HCI, AI, Mixed Reality, and game and web development, at KTH, RMIT, and UFRGS. Worked in several HCI-related projects in AR/VR, including audio AR interfaces for visually impaired people, at RMIT, situated visualization of electromagnetic fields at Halmstad University - Sweden, and an AR-based platform for the teaching of physics, at UFRGS. Also holds an IT degree from IFRS - Brazil, and a BSc. in Computer Science from UFRGS, with a sandwich period at Radford University and the Illinois Institute of Technology - USA.

Involving Digital Futures, KTH, and AstraZeneca, the aim is to improve the productivity of packaging lines within the SweOps Steriles function, as measured by Overall Equipment Effectiveness and competence in line staffing. We aim to achieve this by enabling next-best-action decision support for front-line operators.
We explore how audio AR can help users to have accurate and safe performances in manual tasks. By conducting user evaluations of sonified AR in simulated and real-life scenarios, we promote next gen micro-guidance methods for low-visibility scenarios.
In the context of promoting empathy among people without disabilities, we use VR to allow users to embody different conditions. By providing visual and haptic feedback, our applications offer multisensory experiences to enhance the sense of embodiment.
We explore the use of data vis and AR to provide information to analyze spatially situated data where it was originally measured. Three use cases were designed, implemented and tested in different task contexts: classroom seat analysis, GPS navigation and EMC data-extraction.
By making virtual labs directly usable in teaching activities in Science and Mathematics, we seek to highlight different ways that use technology in the classroom to enrich teaching, allowing students richer resources in interactive multimedia on devices they are already familiar with.
