Rafael Morales

I am passionate about emerging technologies, haptics and acoustic levitators. I have worked in two H2020 FET projects (Levitate and Touchless). My research in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is at the intersection of tangible user interfaces, wearables, and novel ultrasonic devices (designing acoustic levitators and haptics). Currently, I am creating interactive systems using ultrasound transducers and gesture-based interaction techniques to enable powerful applications in smart environments. My projects aim to design, build and evaluate radically new future technologies to overcome societal challenges.
