MENGXIA
UK based architect, AI researcher, and entrepreneur dedicated to exploring the relationship between space and people.
My work focuses on redefining human-space interaction through multimodal technologies and narrative design, creating smarter, more immersive experiences for the future.
Professional Background
With a career that bridges architecture, cinematic storytelling, and artificial intelligence, I am currently pursuing a PhD in XR Spatial Computing.
My research investigates how multimodal technologies (integrating visual, auditory, and tactile interactions) and narrative frameworks can enhance user experience and foster deeper connections within both physical and virtual spaces.
Key areas of focus include:AI Spatial Intelligence:
Empowering spaces with the ability to perceive, learn, and adapt to users' behaviors and emotions in real time.
Multimodal Interaction: Crafting immersive, emotionally resonant spatial experiences through sensory integration.
Narrative-Driven Design: Leveraging storytelling to transform spaces into meaningful vessels of emotion and communication.
Innovation & BrandsAs an entrepreneur, I’ve founded several brands and platforms that integrate cutting-edge technologies with design and experience creation:
Jung Haus: A jewelry brand and intelligent user design platform. By combining AI and data-driven customization, we transform traditional jewelry design into a personalized, interactive experience that tells each user’s unique story.
AIXR: AIXR Lab is a research-driven platform dedicated to advancing AI-powered spatial computing and immersive technologies. Inspired by cutting-edge academic research and real-world applications, AIXR Lab focuses on developing intelligent systems that seamlessly integrate virtual and augmented reality into dynamic, adaptive environments.As a multidisciplinary hub for innovation, AIXR Lab brings together researchers, technologists, and industry leaders to pioneer solutions that bridge the gap between digital and physical spaces. By fostering collaboration and exploration, AIXR Lab aims to redefine the boundaries of human interaction with technology, shaping the future of immersive experiences.
AIXR Awards is an internationally recognized platform established by the Academy of International Extended Reality (AIXR). It aims to honor innovation and excellence in the fields of Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR). Organized by AIXR, a nonprofit industry body, the awards support the global advancement and adoption of immersive technologies by promoting innovation, education, and industry standards.

Vision
I believe that technology is more than a tool—it’s a medium that can transform spaces from static containers into dynamic narratives. By integrating AI, multimodal technologies, and narrative design, I aim to create future spaces that can actively “converse,” adapt to user needs, and foster meaningful emotional connections.
Whether redefining the intelligence of physical spaces or creating immersive scenarios in virtual worlds, my work aspires to deepen the bond between people and the spaces they inhabit.
