From Haptic to Thermal Technologies: Inside Dr. Jin Ryong Kim’s Multimodal Interaction Lab and How it is Revolutionizing How We Interact in VR
From Haptic to Thermal Technologies: Inside Dr. Jin Ryong Kim’s Multimodal Interaction Lab and How it is Revolutionizing How We Interact in VR
Dr. Jin Ryong Kim and his innovative team at the Multimodal Interaction Lab (MI Lab) have recently garnered acclaim for their groundbreaking advancements in haptic and thermal technologies. Their exceptional contributions have been recognized with several prestigious awards, highlighting their transformative work in these dynamic fields. At the IEEE Haptics Symposium 2024, Dr. Kim and his students were awarded the Best Demonstration honorable mention for their presentation on "Thermal Masking." This phenomenon, also displayed at the 2024 ACM Conference on Computer Human Interaction (CHI) in Hawaii, showcases a novel thermal illusion where thermal referral completely masks the original thermal sensation, leaving only the tactile site to register thermal feedback.

Dr. Haas' ACM Mobicom 30-Years Commemorate
Recently, Dr. Zygmunt J. Haas, Distinguished Chair in computer science and professor in the Department of Computer Science in the Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science, offered some remarks to help commemorate 30 years of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) MobiCom conference, which will be held in Nov. 2024 in Washington, DC. The annual conference serves as the premier international forum addressing networks, systems, algorithms, and applications that support the symbiosis of mobile computers and wireless networks. MobiCom also covers all areas of mobile computing and mobile and wireless networking.
SMILE VR Project Lands $750K NSF Grant to Revolutionize Learning and Training
SMILE VR Project Lands $750K NSF Grant to Revolutionize Learning and Training
Virtual reality (VR) offers a captivating and immersive way to revolutionize learning and training, especially when it comes to safety-related concepts. Despite its potential, the intricate development process has slowed its widespread use—until now. In an exciting breakthrough, the University of Texas at Dallas computer science professors Drs. Balakrishnan Prabhakaran, Shiyi Wei, Yu Xiang, and Jin Ryong Kim have secured an impressive $750,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) grant for their groundbreaking Scan to Multi-sensorial Interactive Learning Environment (SMILE) project. This substantial funding highlights the innovation behind SMILE and marks a significant step forward in bringing cutting-edge VR learning experiences to life.

Computer Science Graduates Offer Lessons Learned During Fall 2024 Commencement
Computer Science Graduates Offer Lessons Learned During Fall 2024 Commencement
Several computer science graduates worked as student web developers in the Jonsson School’s Office of Strategic Marketing and Communications during the 2024 academic year. We caught up with three of them to find out what they would take away from their time at UT Dallas. Jason Thanh Nguyen BS’24 intends to apply the skills he acquired through study as well as his work in the Jonsson School to further his career. “This experience taught me how to adapt my communication style to suit different roles and perspectives, ensuring that everyone was aligned toward a common goal,” Nguyen said. “This will be a valuable skillset that will be very helpful for me in my career after graduation.”
