Yanjun Lyu (吕彦君) is an HCI designer and researcher. Her research concentrated on building responsive environments that integrate computational techniques for human movement and distance tracking with multimodal responses. The goal is to explore how design and technology can enhance human social connection, making it more meaningful and enjoyable. Her latest project involves designing multimodal responsive environments for children aged 5-8 years to foster social cognition and collaborative social behaviors, promoting a healthy social life for healthcare and education implementation.

Her research follows two connected main lines of work: 1) Responsive Multi-modal Environment: Adaptive spaces equipped with technology and sensors that can detect and respond to human activity by providing multiple forms of media feedback (such as visual, auditory, haptic sensations, and virtual avatars). 2) Computational Objects and Wearables: Computationally enhanced objects or wearable devices that integrate responsive media to encourage embodied interaction and foster meaningful social engagement. She has several research publications in prominent HCI and Media Arts venues, including HCI International, ACM ISS, ISEA.
