uGlass, our interdisciplinary project at UNIST, has completed first prototype demonstration at 09.02, 2016. Two working prototypes and two style mock-ups were used for the demonstration, and six picture frames were used for detection and providing AR information through the glass. Many students and faculty members visited our exhibition and enjoyed the uses of uGlass. The project is still on-going, and will be continued until the end of 2017.
SATURNO by Boram Noh has been accepted to ACM SIGCHI 2016 Video Showcase, San Jose, USA. The acceptance rate was 24%. Also, it was first visiting to CHI as IPD Lab, and the work is from Boram's Bachelor graduation project. Only thirteen videos were accepted, and many of them were from MIT, Microsoft and other top-class research institutions.
Description: SATURNO is a shadow-pushing lamp that helps users to focus more on tasks at the desk environment. Hanged from the ceiling, the wide oval ring-shaped SATURNO detects the location information of the user’s hand from infrared proximity sensors. When the user simply reach out the hand to the position that s/he wants to brighten up to diminish interrupting shadows, it gives more light to the part detected and reduces other lights that makes irritating shadows, which looks like a pushing shadows. The gentle un-touching interaction of managing the brightness of each lights and the overall shape design of SATURNO can support users’ concentration, especially delicate working like drawing or taking notes.

The results (seven interactive products) of Prof. Young-Woo Park's two courses have been demonstrated as a open exhibition at EB1 909. The courses were "Interactive Technology", the undergraduate course and "Interaction Design" the CDE graduate course. Please find the syllabus of those two courses at here: Teaching
Prof. Young-Woo Park gave lectures about future wearable communication at LG MC Research Center (Jul 1, 8 & 22 ('15)), Seoul. The lectures have been made over a month, in total, it comprised of three sessions, one session (two~three hours) per a day in a week. The lectures have covered the latest wearables cases from the field (start-ups) and research area (CHI, UIST, TEI.. etc). Based on the case reviews, the future direction of next wearables have been introduced and discussed during the lectures.
