Short bio:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Puneet is currently pursuing a PhD in Human-Computer Interaction at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada. Puneet holds a Master\u2019s in Computation and Data Sciences from IISc Bangalore, where he focused on Numerical Linear Algebra and Machine Learning. He has worked as a Data Scientist at SAP Labs and as a Research Fellow at IISc\u2019s Interaction Design Lab, collaborating with Microsoft Research India on adaptive eye-gaze keyboards for individuals with speech and motor impairments. His current artistic-research practice explores how XR technologies can be made accessible to disabled communities, particularly those with quadriplegia. Puneet\u2019s XR art works, which challenges perceptions of sensorimotor disability, has been recognized internationally at Ars Electronica, ISEA, xCoAx, Khoj, and Electronic Literature Organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His recent publication, co-authored with his supervisor Christopher Salter, is titled \u201cCan I use my mouth to navigate in VR?\u201d: Integrating Mouth Gestures in XR with (and for) Disabled Artists through Criptastic Hacking<\/a>. This case study paper was accepted at the ACM CHI 2025 conference and will be presented in Yokohama, Japan<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cMy journey weaves together technology, art, and activism, driven by a commitment to inclusivity, informed by the principles of disability justice. Working with disabled artists, I reimagine XR as a platform for expression, challenging ableist design to create immersive, empowering, and accessible experiences for all.\u201d<\/em><\/h3>\nPuneet Jain<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true},"class_list":["post-9260","team","type-team","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nPuneet Jain | IT:U<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Puneet Jain at IT:U Interdisciplinary Transformation University Austria in Linz.
