Pan 01/2006 – 05/2006 · Pan is an insteractive visual installation. This work was an MFA thesis project (Master of Fine Art in Electronic Visualization, 2006). Pan simulates the motion from status of three table interfaces. The tile of this work, Pan, is a Korean word that has several different meanings such as a plate, a disk, a place, a stage, etc.
Rolling Ball 09/2005 – 12/2005 · Rolling Ball is an experimental project to develop a wireless user interface to control balance of virtual environment via small microcontroller circuit. With accelerometer sensor and RF modules, a user can interact with virtual objects to control a traditional rolling ball toy.
Light Me Up 09/2005 – 12/2005 · Light Me Up is an interface to translate user hand motion into visual presence. A tiny physical interface represents one of instances of the composition of virtual building blocks. By moving your hand over the sculpture, one can create various height and color schemes for these blocks.
STREAM IT! 01/2005 – 05/2005 · STREAM IT! is a real time media work base on virtual reality system. With two small cardboard box installations, people can send video stream data into VR environment. Primary interaction is to put various physical objects into boxes and then system will translate the video stream from webcam that is installed inside box into 3 dimensional texturing and geometry data.
BOUNCING SPACE 08/2004 – 12/2004 · BOUNCING SPACE aims to create the relationship between the concept of sound and motion. From our expectation, moving objects usually produce sound in real, a user creates motion of the primitive objects and each object generates sound. The second concept came from the reverse of this general idea. It is “from sound to motion.” Every moving object base on simulation of physics. 3.D.UO. PAD – an interactive 3D sketchpad 01/2004 – 12/2004 · 3.D.UO. PAD is an interactive 3D sketchpad. In immersive 3D display systems such as CAVE or CWALL, the user can draw and carve sketchpad. One can select and assign 2D image as texture for sketchpad and morph the pad dynamically by color values of texture image pixels. Once the work is finished, the result can be saved and loaded later in real time.
