Bokyung Lee Lab

About Our Lab

Digital technologies and media have been deeply embedded in our daily lives, and blur the boundary between our physical lives of atoms and digital ones of bits. Consequently, ‘how to converge these two worlds in a more seamless and innovative way’ has become a hot topic in various industries, including IT services, smart products, smart homes, art, media, education, or games.

Our lab envisions this new reality through various designary and multi-disciplinary approaches. Through iterative user-centered processes, we design new products, interactions, services, and systems that could bring new experiences to various convergence domains (e.g., embodied art, smart home, immersive environments, metaverse contents, design toolkits, spatial marketing, digital human, augmented experience, digital architecture, etc.).

RECENT PROJECTS

Maecenas faucibus mollis interdum. Morbi leo risus, porta ac consectetur ac, vestibulum at eros. Fusce dapibus, tellus ac cursus commodo, tortor mauris condimentum nibh, ut fermentum massa justo sit amet risus.

Investigating Work Companion Robot Interactions to Enhance Work-from-Home Productivity and Experience

This study proposes a desktop robot companion, Roby, that monitors workers’ behaviors to provide real-time interactive feedback to increase productivity and to enhance the WFH experience.

Everyday Objects in VR Shape Exploration Tools for Novice Artists - A way to Support Geometry Shaping Process for Non-professionals

ShapeloreVR is proposed, which utilizes everyday objects and basic primitives in a VR design playground so that non-experts can quickly interact with, merge, modify, and generate desired 3D shapes while brainstorming.

Generative design for COVID-19 and future pathogens using stochastic multi-agent simulation

We propose a generative design workflow that integrates a stochastic multi-agent simulation with the intent of helping building designers reduce the risk posed by COVID-19 and future pathogens.

Designing a Multi-Agent Occupant Simulation System To Support Facility Planning And Analysis For COVID-19

We propose OccSim, a system that automatically generates occupancy behaviours in a 3D model of a building and helps users analyze the potential effect of virus transmission from a large-scale and longitudinal perspective.

An Empirical Study of How Socio-Spatial Formations are influenced by Interior Elements and Displays in an Office Context

To better understand how workplace design shapes social interactions, we ran an empirical study in an office context over a two week period. Based on the data, we discuss dynamics of socio-spatial formations and how this knowledge can support social interactions in the domain of space design systems and interactive interiors.

Socio-Spatial Comfort: Using Vision-based Analysis to Inform User-Centred Human-Building Interactions

We investigated how office interior layouts influence the way we socially experience office buildings. Using the real-world vision data, we propose the concepts of socio-spatial comfort: social buffers, privacy buffers, and varying proxemics to inform a user-centered way of designing human building interactions and architecture.
