About

Jae-In Hwang is a leading researcher in augmented reality (AR) and human-computer interaction, with a focus on creating seamless, realistic, and accessible collaborative experiences. His work addresses two critical challenges in AR: enhancing the realism of virtual interactions with physical objects and enabling effective remote collaboration between users with vastly different skill levels. In his highly cited 2021 paper (6 citations), Hwang pioneered methods for using real-world object silhouettes—such as animals, toys, and robots—to enable more natural and immersive interactions with virtual humans in mobile AR, moving beyond simplistic pre-modeled proxies. His 2019 work (4 citations) introduced the concept of "fully asymmetric" remote collaboration, designing a system where a complete novice can effectively work with an expert, breaking down traditional barriers of expertise and hardware. By tackling both the fidelity of virtual-physical interaction and the inclusivity of remote systems, Hwang’s research is shaping the future of AR, making it more intuitive, engaging, and accessible for all users.
