Our very own IVI.Lab @ICatGT @gtcomputing received the prestigious @NSF CAREER award to build the future of immersive analytics and spatial computing (VR/AR)! Super grateful & endless thanks to my students, mentors & collaborators!

Interested in working together? Let's chat! 🥽

Evaluating Navigation and Comparison Performance of Computational Notebooks on Desktop and in Virtual Reality | Proceedings of the 2024 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

I am incredibly proud of his accomplishments and have no doubt he has a brilliant career ahead of him. Congratulations, Dr. In!

Some of his published papers:
dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...
ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/101...
ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/103...

Beyond his strong research output and technical skills, Sungwon also demonstrated excellent collaborative skills and productivity, successfully delivering valuable software packages to our DoD partners.

Sungwon's work has been published in premier VIS/HCI/VR/AR venues such as @chi.acm.org, IEEE TVCG (presented @ieeevis.bsky.social), and ISMAR, with several additional papers currently under review. He is genuinely passionate about emerging technologies and human-centered design!

His PhD research centered on creating innovative data science workspaces within immersive environments. He developed a suite of impressive interactive systems in VR/AR tailored for data science workflows, encompassing data transformation, visualization, and analysis.

It is my distinct pleasure to introduce Dr. Sungwon In (www.hisungwon.com). Sungwon was my first doctoral student, whom I had the privilege of co-advising with Prof. Chris North.

Please come to the @acm-sigchi.bsky.social talk and chat with Tao Lu if you are interested in VR/AR and storytelling! programs.sigchi.org/chi/2025/pro...

Our first Immersive Storytelling project! Led by our very own
Tao Lu, incoming PhD student @gtcomputing.bsky.social. We investigated two most unique characteristics, Ego vs. Exo and Active vs. Passive, of immersive technologies that provide immersive experiences. Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2502.04542

Such an important piece of work! Text input in VR/AR has been the elephant in the room to a certain degree. Text input is an essential part for many modern workflows. We can either replacing text input with other alternatives (gestures, voices), all have some limitations. Or to improve it!

The Rise (and Fall?) of the National Science Foundation In the ’50s, America declared science an “endless frontier.” We may be reaching the end of it.
