Suibi Che-Chuan Weng

  • PhD, Creative Technology and Design ‘26
  • ATLAS INSTITUTE

Suibi Che-Chuan Weng (翁哲川) is an interactive media engineer, researcher, and digital artist specializing in XR (AR/VR/MR), generative AI, interactive installations, and physical computing. His research explores human perception, embodied interaction, and how generative AI can support creative expression and situated co-creation in mixed reality environments.

He has extensive experience developing XR systems, interactive installations, and Arduino-based projects. He has also taught technical and creative computing courses, including Unity development, Arduino, physical computing, and creative coding, at several universities. As a digital artist, his interactive works have been exhibited internationally, including at the Taipei Digital Art Festival and the 404 International Festival of Art and Technology.
