About
Roberto Montano Murillo is a pioneering researcher in human-computer interaction, specializing in acoustic levitation for mid-air displays and tangible 3D user interfaces. His major contribution lies in developing direct manipulation techniques for levitated content, enabling users to interact with floating objects using their bare hands—a breakthrough for creating multisensory 3D displays that combine sight, sound, and touch. His most-cited work, "TipTrap: A Co-located Direct Manipulation Technique for Acoustically Levitated Content" (2022), has garnered 4 citations and demonstrates how levitated particles can serve as dynamic voxels, cloth props, or tracer particles, pushing the boundaries of interactive displays. Murillo’s research addresses the challenge of co-located interaction, where users can see and feel virtual objects in the same physical space, opening new possibilities for collaborative design, education, and entertainment. His work is notable for bridging the gap between physical and digital realms, offering a glimpse into future interfaces where users can intuitively grasp and manipulate mid-air content. With a focus on tangible, eyes-free interaction, Murillo continues to shape the field of acoustic levitation-based HCI, inspiring students and researchers to explore novel ways of blending the virtual and the real.
