Dr. Kim has been a researcher at CAD/CAM research center since 2003. He has focused on haptic rendering algorithm and applications. Haptic interface allows the user to touch, explore, paint, and manipulate virtual 3D models in a natural way through haptic display devices delivering tactual sensation. Haptic rendering is the process to generate a force field to simulate the presence of virtual objects and their surface properties such as friction, stiffness and texture, or to guide the user along a specific trajectory without force discontinuities. In addition, advanced haptic techniques including haptic painting and modeling on 3D models should be developed to support various haptic applications. He has developed many haptic applications such as medical simulation, scientific visualization, digital art and network-based collaboration via haptic interface. He has published many papers in premier journals including IEEE CG&A and Visual Computer.
