Hi. I'm Heeyeon Kim.

My research focuses on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Multimodal interface for VR/AR. I seek to build rich user experiences in computing interfaces based on an understanding of how people interact with technology.
I received my M.S. and B.S. in the Department of Convergence IT Engineering at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), where I was advised by Prof. Seungmoon Choi in the Interaction Lab.
