Dr. Gun Lee is a 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.

About me
Dr. Gun Lee is a 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.
Before joining the Empathic Computing Lab at IVE, UniSA he was a Research Scientist at the Human Interface Technology Laboratory New Zealand (HIT Lab NZ, University of Canterbury), leading mobile and wearable AR research projects. Previously, he also worked at the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI, Korea) as a researcher where he developed VR and AR technology for industrial applications, including immersive 3D visualization systems and virtual training systems.
Dr. Lee received his B.S. degree in Computer Science from Kyungpook National University (Korea), and received his Masters and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science and Engineering at POSTECH (Korea), investigating immersive authoring method for creating VR and AR contents using 3D user interfaces.
