[아트&테크놀로지] Imagination Seminar - Multimodal User Interfaces for Immersive Virtual Reality (10/2)

▶일시 : October 2, 1:30PM

▶장소 : X514 Immersive Hall

▶강사 : Prof. Jinryong Kim (Dept. of Computer Science at the University of Texas at Dallas)

▶내용: Humans perceive the world through multiple modalities, including the basic senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. For example, a person in a coffee shop can see nearby people, hear the ambient noise in that setting, smell the coffee in their cup, and feel its warmth while holding it. These modalities work together to give them a rich and reliable sense of their surroundings. A multimodal human-computer interface is a user interface that offers different types of sensory stimuli simultaneously (e.g., visual, auditory, haptic, olfactory, etc.). Multimodal interfaces are necessary to support multi-sensory experiences, which can greatly benefit usability and user experience. They can lead to more “natural” interaction with digital environments, providing multiple types of sensory information similar to what we perceive when interacting with physical environments. However, creating high-quality multimodal interfaces is challenging. This requires an in-depth understanding of human perception and device output capabilities, as well as how these can be combined to create a convincing multi-sensory experience. In this talk, I will discuss the design and engineering of interactive multimodal and haptic interfaces, exploring how they can enhance user experience through immersive virtual reality by delivering multi-sensory experiences.

▶강사 소개 : Dr. Jin Ryong Kim is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Director of the Multimodal Interaction Lab (MI Lab) at the University of Texas at Dallas. His research focuses on haptics, human-computer interaction (HCI), and virtual/augmented reality (VR/AR), with an emphasis on multimodal interfaces that engage the full range of human sensory capabilities. Prior to joining UT Dallas, he was a Staff Researcher at Alibaba Group in Sunnyvale, California, and a Senior Researcher at ETRI in Korea. His contributions have been recognized with the NSF CAREER Award, Best Paper Honorable Mention Awards at ACM CHI 2025 and ACM UIST 2025, and multiple Best Demo Awards, including the IEEE World Haptics Conference 2025, IEEE ISMAR 2024, and ACM SIGGRAPH Asia 2023 Emerging Technologies. He has also received the ACM UIST 2024 Best Demo Honorable Mention and the IEEE Haptics Symposium 2024 Best Demo Honorable Mention. Dr. Kim holds a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering and an M.S. in Computer Science from Purdue University, as well as B.S. and M.S. degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Hanyang University.
