Woontack Woo received his BS in Electronics Engineering from Kyungpook National University (KNU, Daegu, Korea) in 1989 and his MS (Advisor: Prof. Hong Jeong) in Electronics and Electrical Engineering from Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH, Pohang, Korea) in 1991. In 1998, he received his Ph.D. (Advisor: Prof. Antonio Ortega) in Electrical Engineering-Systems from University of Southern California (USC), CA, USA. In 1999, as an invited Researcher, he joined Advanced Telecommunications Research (ATR), Kyoto, Japan. Since Feb. 2001, he has been with the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST), where he is an Associate Professor in the Dept. of Information and Communications (DIC) and Director of.Culture Technology Research Center (CTRC). The main thrust of his research has been implementing a holistic smart environments, which include
Context-aware for Ubiquitous Computing, Wearable Computing for Mediated Reality, and Interactive Media Systems.

I am a Ph.D. Candidate in U-VR Lab. at gist. I am a Christian and go to Mustard Seed Chruch in Hightech Complex, Gwangju. My main research interest is to generate a 3D Panoramic Virtual Environment (3D PVE) based on multiple 3D cameras. Nowadays, we can generate 2D-based panoramic images using a lot of commercial or free softwares. However, they have some limitations in providing the users with immersive feeling. On the other hand, 3D PVE can be one of the best candidates for a user-navigation with immersivce feeling !! Interesting and Exciting !! Isn't it? I am trying to create this kind of virtual envi-ronment exploiting 3D point clouds of several real scenes. Considering current explosion of the commercial/free 2D-based stitching softwares, I think it is not impossible to make so much money if I would succeed in making 3D PVE-like system. ^^; Cross your fingers, plz.

Hello. I am interesting in VR system and Distributed Interaction. If you want to see my activities, you can read my papers. And also I am interesting classic science fictions. I really like Isaac Asimov and Agatha Christi. Their novels have a logical stories.

This is Dongpyo Hong, and I am a Ph.D student in GIST U-VR Lab. My research interests are Human Computer Interaction based on Computer Vision. During my master course in GIST, I worked on vision-based user interface such as SpaceSensor. In Ph.D program, however, I have been working on wearable computing in which I am looking for how wearable computer can be used in the future computing environment. I have been working on various projects since I joined this U-VR lab. You can find more interesting things in my personal homepage (http://www.dhong.net) or in this homepage. I am fond of programming languages especially of paradigm (C/C++, Java, ML, Haskell etc.).

I strongly long for good camera calibration. -_- But you know that camera calibration is quiet difficult research area.
