Kyungeun Jung

Hi This is Kyungeun Jung!

I am a first year Ph.D Student at HCI Tech Lab, advised by professor Sang Ho Yoon. My experience spans across the domain of haptics, wearable interfaces.

I continuously seek answers especially in Haptics interfaces regarding human ergonomics! Still creating some meaningful questions and answers, and hope to fulfill my research journey with lots of sparkling and creative ideas.

In my leisure time, I love to explore some sites to walk and enjoy the scenery of greeny trees 🌳.

Please feel free to email me kyungeun.jung@kaist.ac.kr :^)

🏆Mo2Hap:Rendering VR Performance Motion Flow to Upper-body Vibrotactile Haptic Feedback

We introduce a unique haptic rendering framework that transforms the performer’s actions into wearable vibrotactile feedback for an immersive virtual reality (VR) performance experience. To capture essential movements from the virtual performer, we propose a method called Motion Salient Triangle. Motion Salient Triangle is a real-time 3D polygon that computes haptic characteristics (intensity, location) based on motion skeletal data. Here, we employ an entire upper-body haptic system that provides vibrotactile feedback on the torso, back, and shoulders. This haptic rendering pipeline enable audiences to experience immersive VR performance by accommodating the performer’s motions on top of motion-to-haptic feedback.
