October 12th (Sunday)

About the Workshop

This workshop aims to share the current state of research in Mixed Reality (MR) and Robotics in Korea and Australia, and to explore ways to collaborate between the two countries. The main areas of focus are the current research trends in MR and Robotics in both countries and ways to connect academia and industry. Through this, we expect a synergistic effect on the research and industrialization of MR and Robotics in both Korea and Australia.

Call for Participation

We are pleased to announce a joint workshop between Korea and Australia focusing on fostering collaboration in the fields of Mixed Reality (MR) and Robotics. This workshop will be held in conjunction with the International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR) 2025 in Korea. This workshop is supported by the Tech-Bridge program of the Korea Research Foundation and the GCF(Global Connections Fund) of Austrailian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering. It aims to bring together researchers and industry professionals from both Korea and Australia to:

The primary focus areas of the workshop include, but are not limited to:

We invite researchers, engineers, industry representatives, and students from both Korea and Australia who are actively involved or interested in Mixed Reality and Robotics to participate in this exciting workshop. This is a valuable opportunity to network, exchange ideas, and forge potential partnerships for future collaborations.

Byounghyun Yoo (Korea Institute of Science and Technology)

Byounghyun Yoo is the Head of the Intelligence and Interaction Research Center (I²RC) at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST). He is also a Professor of AI-Robotics at the KIST School of the Korea National University of Science and Technology (UST). He leads the Webizing Research Lab (WRL).

Jae-In Hwang (Korea Institute of Science and Technology)

Jaein Hwang is a principal research scientist at Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST). He is also a Professor of AI-Robotics at the KIST School of the Korea National University of Science and Technology (UST). He leads the Mixed Reality Lab (MRLab) at KIST.

Gun Lee (University of South Australia)

Senior Lecturer at the Australian Research Centre for Interactive and Virtual Environments (IVE), University of South Australia (UniSA). His research investigates interaction and visualization methods for sharing virtual experiences in xR, i.e. VR/AR/MR (Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, and Mixed Reality). Recently, developing xR technology for remote collaboration and virtual training has been his main research focus. Sharing richer communication cues and supporting large groups to collaborate across space and time are the next steps he is working on.

Mark Billinghurst (University of South Australia)

Mark Billinghurst is Professor of Human Computer Interaction at the University of South Australia in Adelaide, Australia. He earned a PhD in 2002 from the University of Washington and researches innovative computer interfaces that explore how virtual and real worlds can be merged, publishing over 300 papers in topics such as wearable computing, Augmented Reality and mobile interfaces.
