Karthik Ramani's research focuses on human-computer interaction, augmented and virtual reality, and computer-aided design tools, often combining these with artificial intelligence methods like large language models to help people design, model, and interact with 3D objects and environments. Recent work includes tools for sketch-based product design, AR-guided assembly instructions, gesture-based interaction in virtual reality, and educational technology for teaching design and engineering skills. The group also works on related computer vision problems such as hand action recognition and 3D object reconstruction.
