The Interaction Laboratory (former Haptics and Virtual Reality Laboratory) at POSTECH, directed by Prof. Seungmoon Choi, seeks to find and design easy, effective, and novel interaction methods between human users and a system of interest, e.g., computers, robots, cars, and electronic device, with emphasis on physical interaction where the human somatosensory system has the major role.

Korea Haptics Conference 2024 Awards
Our team participated in the Korea Haptics Conference 2024 in Gyeongju!
Dajin Lee was awarded the Best Paper Award for her work titled “Differential Thresholds of Azimuth between Auditory and Tactile Stimuli.”
Jiwan Lee, Jaejun Park, Jaehyeok Ahn, and Heeji Sohn were awarded the Best Demonstration Award for their project, “Automatic Authoring of Physical and Perceptual/Affective Motion Effects for Virtual Reality.” Please give a big hand to the authors!
New Research Grants!
We have won a new research grant from the University ICT Research Center funded by Institute for Information and Communication Technology Promotion (IITP). In this project, we will study technologies for augmenting human cognition and intelligence to overcome human limitations and disabilities. Through this process, we will train 200 international researchers with master’s and doctoral degrees who will drive national innovation growth. We will be supported 9,138 million won (9,138K dollors) for 6.5 years.
Jungeun Lee also won Research Subsidies for Ph.D. Candidates from National Research Foundation of Korea in 2024. In this project, Jungeun will study the haptic resistance using electrical muscle stimulation for shared autonomy-based remote control. Jungeun will be supported 50 million won (50K dollors) for 2 years.
Class of 2024
Gyeore Yun and Chaeyong Park were awarded their Ph.D., and Jaehyeok Ahn and Heeyeon Kim were awarded their master’s degrees.
Chaeyong Park continues his career as a post-doctoral researcher at our laboratory.
Praise for the bright future of our graduates!
