As an independent developer for Apple Vision Pro and Tech Lead at HoloKit, Yuchen has extensive experience in developing AR applications on Apple devices. Yuchen developed the multiplayer spatial computing game MOFA, which allows players to engage in magic duels akin to those seen in Harry Potter movies in the real world. MOFA received the Best Interactivity Demo Award for CHI 2023.
