Designing new interactions across digital intelligence and the physical world.

CXD Lab explores how AI, XR, digital humans, spatial computing, and interactive systems can become meaningfully integrated into everyday life. Our work is organized around five research pillars, two complementary convergence directions, and a human-centered approach to designing and evaluating new interactions.

CXD Lab은 AI, XR, 디지털 휴먼, 공간 컴퓨팅, 인터랙티브 시스템이 일상과 물리적 환경에 의미 있게 융합되는 방식을 탐구합니다. 다섯 가지 연구 축과 두 가지 상호보완적 융합 방향, 그리고 인간 중심의 설계 및 평가 접근을 바탕으로 새로운 인터랙션을 연구합니다.


01 / CORE AREAS
Research Pillars
We conduct research grounded in five main pillars, while remaining open to interdisciplinary and exploratory directions beyond these areas.
Pillar I
AI/XR Interactive Systems to Empower Humans

Designing AI/XR interactive systems that empower people by enhancing creativity, productivity, learning, and everyday decision-making.

Pillar II
Intelligent Future Virtual Humans

Developing intelligent future virtual humans that perform complex roles and coexist with us across physical and virtual realities.

Pillar III
Novel Spatial & Embodied Interactions

Creating novel interactions where spaces, objects, and human movements become part of an intelligent interface beyond 2D screens.

Pillar IV
Interactions with Intelligent Physical AI Systems (Robots)

Exploring how people interact and collaborate with intelligent robots, adaptive objects, and responsive physical AI systems.

Pillar V
Convergence Media and Entertainment

Envisioning new forms of media and entertainment where digital intelligence, immersive content, and physical reality converge.


02 / FRAMEWORK
Two Directions of Digital-Physical Convergence in HCI Research
Digital-physical convergence in HCI can be approached from two complementary directions: bringing digital intelligence closer to people’s everyday worlds, and designing physical systems that become more interactive through digital intelligence. CXD Lab considers both directions and designs experiences according to the context, users, and needs of each situation.
HCI에서 디지털-피지컬 융합 연구는 두 가지 상호보완적 방향으로 생각해볼 수 있습니다. 하나는 디지털 인텔리전스가 사용자의 일상 세계와 더 잘 맞물리도록 설계하는 것이고, 다른 하나는 디지털 인텔리전스를 통해 물리적 시스템을 더 상호작용적으로 만드는 것입니다. CXD Lab은 이 두 방향을 모두 염두에 두고, 상황과 사용자, 니즈에 따라 가장 적합한 경험을 설계합니다.

03 / PROCESS
Research Approach
We take a broad range of design research approaches, from understanding people and contexts to designing and evaluating new interactive systems.
Envisioning Interactions
by Understanding People
We uncover people’s needs, behaviors, and contexts to envision meaningful future interactions.
Designing and Evaluating
New Proposed Interactions
We prototype new interaction concepts and evaluate how they shape user experiences.
Integrated: User-Centered Interaction
Design with Evaluation
We conduct the full research cycle—from understanding users to designing, and evaluating interactive systems.
