[Imagination Seminar] 3D User Interfaces for Immersive Virtual Environments

Speaker: Prof. Isaac Cho (Computer Science at Utah State Univ.)

Date : May 7th (Thu.) 1:30 PM
Venue: X514 Immersive Hall

Abstract: In immersive virtual environments, 3D user interfaces are a core component that shapes how users perceive, navigate, and manipulate virtual worlds. This talk presents a human-centered perspective on 3D user interfaces and examines how interaction techniques in immersive environments influence users’ perception, cognition, performance, and overall experience. Through a range of interactive systems and empirical studies, it explores key elements of 3D interaction, including selection, manipulation, navigation, and multimodal feedback, and discusses how these interface designs relate to user experience and behavior.

Short Bio:
Dr. Isaac Cho is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Utah State University. His research focuses on human-centered interaction, perception, and experience in immersive environments, examining how interaction design shapes perception, cognition, and behavior within tightly coupled human-system loops. He has authored over 50 peer-reviewed publications in leading venues, including IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics (TVCG), IEEE VR, and IEEE ISMAR. He serves as an Associate Editor for IEEE TVCG and Elsevier Computers & Graphics and contributes to the community through program and organizing committee roles for major international conferences.
