About

Kyoung Choi is a researcher specializing in the intersection of educational technology, augmented reality (AR), and early childhood education, with a particular focus on how emerging technologies can enhance learning and play experiences for young children. Choi's most significant contributions center on the innovative application of robot projector-based augmented reality systems in dramatic and play activities at nurseries and kindergartens, addressing practical challenges such as script memorization and sustaining children's attention during structured activities. Through a series of studies conducted between 2011 and 2013, Choi systematically explored this novel educational approach from multiple angles — employing Delphi survey methodology to validate the appropriateness of AR-assisted dramatic activities, observing young children's direct responses to robotic and AR components, and analyzing the technology's effectiveness from the perspectives of teachers, child actors, and audiences alike. This multi-stakeholder approach demonstrates a rigorous commitment to real-world educational applicability. Choi's body of work, accumulating approximately 22 citations across four key publications, has helped lay foundational groundwork for integrating robotics and AR into early childhood curricula — a field of growing importance as classrooms become increasingly technology-enriched environments. These contributions offer valuable insights for educators, curriculum designers, and technologists working to make advanced tools developmentally appropriate and engaging for very young learners.
