Jinsil Hwaryoung Seo is an interactive artist/researcher focusing on aesthetics of interactive experience. Currently she is an assistant professor in the Department of Visualization at the College of Architecture and a faculty fellow in the Center for Health Systems & Design at Texas A&M University. Seo received a Ph.D. in Interactive Art and Technology from Simon Fraser University in Canada and an MFA in Computer Arts from School of Visual Arts(SVA). With interdisciplinary, interactive art practice, Seo investigates the intersection between body, nature and technology. Seo has been fascinated by the aesthetic qualities of human experience, the relationships that emerge through interactions within artworks, the underlying beauty and pattern inherent in the nature. Her current research concentrates on designing for tangible and kinetic aesthetics in the contexts of performance, child development and health. Seo has chosen interactive art for her creative practice and research in particular as it encourages immersive and embodied relationships within a work of art.

Applied Research Associates (ARA)

Applied Research Associates (ARA)

Applied Research Associates (ARA) is an employee-owned scientific research and engineering company founded in 1979 and dedicated to producing innovative solutions to critical problems in National Security, Infrastructure, Energy and Environment, and Health. Over the past seven years, ARA has pioneered high performance augmented reality technology for outdoor, on-the-move soldier operations. We call it ARC4. Rather than looking down at a 2D map or chest-worn computer, the soldier sees iconic information (e.g., navigation waypoints, blue forces, aircraft, points of interest) overlaid on their real-world view. The soldier is able to perform his or her mission with high awareness of their surroundings, with enhanced safety and speed, and in close coordination with team members. ARC4 integrates with daytime see-through displays and night-vision goggles. ARA is currently extending ARC4 into commercial, industrial, and immersive training applications. http://www.ara.com Verticals Military & Emergency Response, Enterprise & Industrial Platforms Mobile, Eyewear, Wearables, Gesture Device, Location Tech Products ARC4...
