Hoon Yoon

Hoon Yoon, aka Vince, is a designer who has been experiencing UI/UX, Industrial, and Interaction Design. From school to the business field, he proceeded, participated in types of projects that harnesses emerging technologies like tangible interface, connected car, and IoT. And now, he is currently working as a UI designer in Samsung Electronics, participating in designing UI/UX of IoT service platform.

 

Regarding his most recent academic activity, in the RISD MID program, he did a grad thesis project about how the augmented graphic interface is applied to the physical environment and interacts with the user under situational specificity. Based on user-participatory experiments and prototyping, he designed and produced several types of interface models combined with the physical surface. Through this, he tried to suggest another possibility of how the future’s usability of navigating the augmented interface is shaped,

EDUCATION

Rhode Island School of Design (RISD)

Master of Industrial Design - MID / Sep.2014 ~ Jun.2016

 Grad Thesis: Interplayable Surface

- An exploration on Augmented GUI that coexists with physical environments

Project URL: https://www.creactiveyoon.com/thesis-real

Main Thesis Advisor, Graduate Program Director: Andy Law

Adjunct Thesis Advisor: Tim Maly

External Thesis Advisor: Jaemin Cho

The goal of experiment-driven thesis is to envision and design an interactive GUI (graphic user interface) that coexists with physical surfaces. Based on an understanding of user behavioral patterns for accessing information in types of situations, experimentations and prototypes are implemented and tested with participants. Through the process of understanding User-factors for accessing information within situational specificity, thesis suggests several types of speculative user-scenarios for how augmented GUI could be permeated into actual life, combining with UX-centric points.
