Hoon Vince Yoon
Hoon Yoon, aka Vince is a designer who has been experiencing diverse areas of Industrial, Product, UI/UX, and interaction design. From grad school to business field, he has been proceeding projects integrating with emerging technologies like interactive product/artifact/system that combines with augmented interface.
In talking about his significant strength, he has an ability and experiences to distill the practical usability from converging
different fields like finding solutions between industrial design-based ergonomics and UX-based methodology.
For grad thesis, he did a project about how augmented GUI interplays with exterior environments. Based on user-centric
methodology and analysis he designed several types of interface models integrating with physical artifacts, for prototyping how augmented GUI could be permeated into our actual life.

EDUCATION

Master of Industrial Design - MID / Sep.2014 ~ Jun.2016
Grad Thesis: Interplayable Surface
- An exploration on Augmented GUI that coexists with physical environments
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.
