A VR experience "Xentity" begins playfully. User's gesture makes his or her digitized particles on a virtual realistic simulation background. In the end, an astistic pointillism artwork is delivered to user's social media.
Interactive
A real-time visualization and unusual interaction strengthen users' memory and inspiration. Immediate reaction of VR engine will be a meaningful user experience, because digitized particles are building up his or her surroundings.
Immersive
"Xentity v2.0 will be developed for a wearable gadget. Head-mounted display can deliver much more realistic experience to users. In addition, the recorded video can be posted as a 360 degree video contents to share on social media."

DreamGlass
Augmented Reality Head Mount Display
I contributed to UX/UI design for smartphone tethered AR Glass. Hand gestures interact with augmented 3D objects. My partner coded workable C# scripts on my UI/IxDs. I also designed company logo and websites. DreamGlass was presented in CES Asia 2017 and CES2018 in Las Vegas.
Before coming to the United States, I had made three or four virtual/augmented reality news videos by using Viz Artist and real-time camera tracking system. As a VR/AR director, I directed production and made rea-time AR visualization. Visual storytelling with emerging technology is my passion.

Database Driven Dynamic Web Layout
I designed this responsive web site for Tery, my wife's dream. I also love this brand logo and the usable filtering feature of this website. You can test the selection of a coffee with two criteria: by six products and by five roasting levels. PHP and AJAX enabled me to make a dynamic sort feature in the organaized grid system.
A Final Bidding Competition for Learning Professional UX Process
I was a member of "Design United" for a simulational bidding project. Among multi-national and cross-cultural members, I was resposible for an IA, wireframes and low/high fidelity mockup design. My team became the winner of the bid by a wonderful team play. A Team was much stronger than by alone. I have learned a lot of embodied lessons I never catched up by myself.
The VizTalk sounds like visual talk and business talk. This mobile app targeted a business communication with a smartphone. Specifically, a remote presentation is the key feature of Viz(ual)Talk.

This is the animated version of infographics about coffee consuming statistics in the U.S. It begins a hook and ends a kind of "call to action" message. A logical order of infomation is a golden rule of infographics.
A short logo animation can be a representative of the brand. I tried to visualize the mission of D2able Interactive. Motion graphics is useful tool for visual storytelling.

She is coming
The key object of this image is the metaphor of myself who is waiting for my wife. The four seasons of San Francisco are added on the sculpture. Detailed meanings and my interpretation by Baudrillard's four stages of simulacra are written below essay.
I love photography. The left is a couple who encountered in a tattoo shop, and the right was captured in a park in my country, South Korea. Taking a photo is a strong relationship between the object, the Sun and me.
A livebook has a sort of augmented realistic contents. You can experience such an interesting contents by opening below pdf file and installing AURASMA app. I have learned the importance of visual hierarchy and proper white space by this project.
This is my first web design in my lifetime, so this is not my best. However, I love this brand and the logo design, since it is 3-D look, heart-shaped and conceptual. jQuery was powerful to make a little interaction a bigger difference.

VR is a miraculous way to connect to your loved one.
I really miss my wife, Tery. There is a big ocean between her and me, but I believe we can meet again across the ocean. Chris Milk said that VR makes us more human, and I hope so. This concept will be a strong motive for Digitized v2.0.
This is a kind of preliminary conceptual poster of above fictional Time Megazine Cover design. I am sincerely praying for the ultimate union between my wife and me. In my belief, water molcule is the idealest shape of relationship.
