Seungmoon Choi received the BS and MS degrees in control and instrumentation
engineering from Seoul National University in 1995 and 1997, respectively, and the PhD
degree in electrical and computer engineering from Purdue University in 2003. At present,
he is an associate professor of computer science and engineering at Pohang University of
Science and Technology (POSTECH). He received an Early Career Award 2011 from IEEE
Technical Committee on Haptics and several best paper awards from premium international
conferences including IEEE Haptics Symposium and IEEE World Haptics Conference. He is a
co-chair of IEEE Technical Committee on Haptics, an associate editor of IEEE Transactions
on Haptics, and an editorial board member of Virtual Reality. He has also served in the
program committee of a number of international conferences on haptics. His research
interests lie on haptic rendering and perception, emphasizing on kinesthetic rendering of
hardness and texture, tactile rendering, sensorimotor skill modeling and transfer, haptic
augmented reality, mobile haptic interface, data haptization, and applied perception. His
basic research has been applied to mobile devices, automobiles, virtual prototyping, and
motion-based remote controllers.

6. 내용 :

This talk presents the concept and research status of haptic augmented reality. Haptic
augmented reality refers to the technology or applications wherein a user in a real
environment interacts with real objects with the aid of a haptic interface, while
experiencing augmented haptic feels of the real objects. For instance, a virtual apple can
be rendered on top of a real desk both visually and haptically, or a virtual tumor can be
created inside a real breast in order to practice breast tumor palpation and detection.
This exciting new technology allows us to augment real haptic sensations by delivering
purely virtual haptic sensations inside a real environment or mixing virtual stimuli with
real stimuli, just like changing the color of a real object with the visual augmented reality
technology. In addition, other research topics on-going in the speaker’s laboratory at
POSTECH are also briefly introduced, including human motor skill modeling and transfer
and tactile perception and rendering for mobile devices.
