Project description: We created virtual audiences for AR spectator, designed to mimic the behaviors of a real audience. Leveraging imitation learning from human audience data, these virtual audiences aim to enhance the live performance experience for users experiencing AR theater play. [details redacted for review]

World Tracer

World Tracer: An Easy-to-use Program that Creates the Layout of 3D Environments from LiDAR SLAM Data

World Tracer was developed by You-Jin Kim and Tommy Sharkey during a PhD summer research internship at Nokia Bell Labs.


I enjoy researching in my office space at Four Eyes Lab, overlooking the beautiful Santa Barbara coastline.
