Human Performance and Experience Team

Principal investigator of Junglab (Junglab.meei.harvard.edu) for applied visual perception projects that require multi-disciplinary backgrounds (computer science, optical engineering, vision science, and optometry). Lead and manage all development steps (Patent – Designing – Prototyping – Human subject study – Journal publication – Commercialization) in the projects09/2020-08/2024 Monocular Visual Confusion for Field Expansion (PI, NIH/NEI R01). • Study effect of AR display configurations (monocular and stereoscopic) and eye movements to bistability of visual/motion perception (monocular/binocular rivalry and suppression) • Developing AR field expansion vision aids in the VR environment • Developing realistic VR walking scenarios and modeling pedestrian collisions in VR• Leading clinical human subject studies of walking and collision avoidance behavior in AR/VR environments with the field expansion aids09/2019-08/2024 Visual field expansion through innovative multi-periscopic prism design (Co-Investigator, NIH/NEI R01).• Designed and developed an optical augmented vision element (Multiplexing prism), an optical module of cascaded optical elements for wide field expansion (Multi-periscopic prism), and 3D-printed field expansion glasses for field loss patients• Developed a 3D-printed camera setup and image processing algorithm to photographically depict and simulate human visual perception with the developed vision aids• Led clinical human subject studies of driving and walking performance with the developed devices in simulated VR environments

01/2016-01/2021 Active confocal Imaging for visual prostheses (Co-PI, US DoD). • Studied computational photography algorithms for multi-sensory visual perception in visual prostheses (retinal/cortical implant, tactile-visual sensory substitution)• Developed light-field background de-cluttering systems based on light-field imaging (active confocal imaging on camera array) and computational photography with motion parallax (2 US patents awarded)• Led clinical human subject studies of object recognition with confocal imaging on VR prosthetic vision 07/2018–12/2019 Field Expansion for Acquired Monocular Vision using Multiplexing Prism (PI, Fight for Sight Grant-in-aid).10/2017-09/2018 The best field expansion configuration for using multiplexing prism for homonymous hemianopia (PI, Harvard Medical School).

I studied vision science and the development of optical visual aids for low vision in the vision rehabilitation lab (Dr. Eli Peli). Below is the project I worked on. 09/2013 – 08/2019 Visual field expansion through innovative multiplexing prism design (Co-Investigator, NIH/NEI R01) 02/2015 - 10/2015 Active confocal imaging for visual prostheses (PI, Promobilia Foundation)12/2012-11/2013 Study on effect of super multi-view condition in three-dimensional display to accommodation response and improvement of optical vision rehabilitation device (PI, National Research Foundation of Korea)
