ABOUT ME

I’m Tongze Guo from Beijing, China.

I’m an XR director ,Technical artist and researcher, currently pursuing a Master’s degree at Beijing Normal University, supervised by Prof.Wen Zhou. Also, I’m currently doing an exchange research study in Medialogy(M.Sc) at the Aalborg University(CPH campus) under the guidance of Dr. Rolf Nordahl and Prof. Stefania Serafin.

My research interests lie in intersection between Artistic expression, Cultral Heritage and Emerging Technology, studies encompassing Extended-Reality(VR/AR/MR), Immersive Storytelling and Human-computer Interaction.

I completed my undergraduate studies in Digital Media(M.A) at the Beijing Normal University (2019-2023).

Since 2020, I focused on creating interactive narrative works and exploring spatial art expressions. My works have been showcased in Paris, Berlin, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Beijing, and Shanghai. My projects, Journey to Self (6DoF VR interactive film, 2023), got “VR for Best Immersive Experiences Finalist” in the Short Video Section of the 25th Shanghai International Film Festival. Magic You (6DoF VR interactive film, 2024) has won the “Audience Choice: Theatre Experience Award” in 2024 SIGGRAPH Asia XR, selected in 2025 IEEE VR XR Gallery and give an oral presentation and Official Selected in International Competition by 2025 Newimage Festival(Paris).
