About me

Hi! I’m Myungho Lee. I recently received my Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Central Florida (UCF), under the supervision of Prof. Greg Welch, a co-director of Synthetic Reality Lab (SREAL) at UCF. I joined SREAL in 2012 as a graduate research assistant, where I got hands-on experiences with state-of-arts VR/AR headsets as well as positional/biometric tracking devices for research projects.

My recent research focuses on making a more realistic experience in interactions with virtual humans. Particularly I’m interested in inducing Physicality Illusion — making people feel virtual entities as real – for the non-physical virtual humans using shared objects in the shared environment with virtual humans. I am also interested in measuring/analyzing physiological/behavioral responses in VR/AR.

Before joining UCF, I was a member of Digital eXPerience Lab at Korea University (KU), where I was first exposed to VR/AR. During the time in KU, I worked on making devices for novel interaction techniques. I still like tinkering hardware.
