Hello!

I'm Mohammad Kasiri

I'm a researcher and developer working with VR/XR and 3D graphics, interactions and visualization techniques. I develop 3D systems with many technologies including Unity, Oculus Quest, Unreal Engine, WebGL, OpenGL and Vulkan.

My Education

I have always had a strong interest in technology and how it can be used to communicate and convey information, whether in video, audio, graphics, or animation. So, I tried my best to be admitted to the best universities in Iran, and I chose electrical engineering at the Isfahan University of Technology. The first years of my undergraduate studies were not as exciting as I expected, and I did not feel satisfied with the theoretical courses. As I delved deeper and explored other areas of technology, I became increasingly drawn to the field of multimedia. In my senior year of studying electrical engineering, I joined BOKS company and developed my passion for interactive media, and gained experience as an adver-game designer and developer. My work involved designing and developing interactive experiences that leveraged technology’s unique capabilities to engage users and promote products or services. In doing so, I tried and utilized various technologies, such as Microsoft Kinect, microcontrollers, game engines, and multiple sensors, to create interactive advertisements (video links). Working in a small startup gave me surface-level experience in interactive media, such as advergames and serious games. So, I decided to continue my education in multimedia to deep-dive, and then I studied for Iran’s Nationwide University Entrance Exam. Due to my excellent performance on the exam, I was able to continue my studies at Tabriz Islamic Art University, the only university in Iran that offers a master’s degree in multimedia.

As a graduate in Electrical Engineering and a Master’s student in multimedia, I have developed a strong foundation in both technical and creative fields. Through my coursework and research experiences, I have gained knowledge in various areas of Engineering, including mathematics, statistics, soft computing, and control systems. My studies in multimedia have also equipped me with expertise in computer graphics, computer vision, machine learning. This interdisciplinary background has allowed me to approach problems from different angles and provided me with diverse skill sets.

Master Thesis

My master’s thesis is “Analysis of Body Gesture as a Nonverbal Communication in Metaverse,” in which I utlized WebGL and computer vision technologies. I aim to enhance the nonverbal communication experience within a virtual three-dimensional (Social VR) setting. I achieved this by capturing the user’s hands movements using an RGB webcam and replicating them onto a 3D avatar. This technology will allow users to express themselves more effectively through physical gestures and movements, thus creating a more immersive and engaging virtual environment (github link) (final application).
