About Me

Hi, I’m Quinn (Qingyun) Liu, I am a creative technologist passionate about embodied interaction and immersive storytelling. I create interactions that make people feel present through space, touch, and sensory cues that guide curiosity and emotional resonance.
I work across game design and hardware prototyping—from Unity/Unreal level design to sensor-based installations and alt-control interfaces. My focus is on blending these practices into experiences where the digital and physical worlds respond seamlessly to human presence.
