Hi, I'm Andy Yu.

We tend to assume identity is stable and continuous, yet moments of disconnection, immersion, or transformation reveal how fluid the self can be. Extended Reality exposes this flexibility by allowing us to inhabit bodies unlike our own, where changes in form subtly reshape perception, behavior, and confidence without erasing who we are. Rather than functioning as escapism, XR becomes a space to examine how identity adapts to new embodiments. Through this, digital experience holds the potential not just to simulate reality, but to transform self-perception itself.
