저는 현재 한국 한양대학교 MILab에서 박사 과정 석사 과정을 밟고 있는 학생입니다.

I'm an Ph.D. M.S. candidate at MILab, Hanyang University, South Korea.

연구 분야는 VRAI 에이전트에 대한 사용자 경험 분석과 개선입니다. 장기적으로는 게임내러티브에서의 UX 연구에도 관심이 있습니다.

My research interests include user experience analysis and enhancement for VR and AI agents. Long term, I’m interested in UX research in games and narrative.

현재는 Smilegate에서 전략기획 인턴으로, 리서치와 AX 업무를 진행하고 있습니다.

I'm currently a Strategy Planning intern at Smilegate, working on research and AX initiatives.

Projects

User Experience Analysis of Monologue in Immersive Environments

(2025.07~present)

Two VR scenarios were built based on cognitive load, and monologues were provided in different voices in each environment. We analyzed how user stress (GSR), preference, and embodiment differed by voice, deriving insights for VR monologue production.

Unity 3d LLM

Two of us

(2025.07~present)

An AI-based VR two-player cooperative game project that started at Xreal, an XR-AI society. Analyzing disposition and relationships based on two users’ conversation, relationship patterns, and interaction data using LLMs. A VR 2-player cooperative game with gamification elements added.
