    Welcome back to the Digital Doha Podcast, our Qatar-based interview series exploring the cutting-edge of emerging media happening in Doha and the greater Middle East. Hosted by Spencer Striker, PhD Digital Media Professor at Northwestern Qatar, and creator of the award-winning History Adventures digital learning series.

Celebrating the theme ‘Colorful World’, the finest minds redefining the future of cutting-edge technologies gathered to inspire an audience of thousands from around the world. Today’s guest, Hyungseok Kim, is Program Chair of SIGGRAPH Asia’s XR Track. XR was a juried exhibition within the SIGGRAPH Asia Experience Hall that showcased novel VR, AR, MR prototype systems and/or innovative content with off-the-shelf consumer products and software such as Unity or Unreal Engine. Designers and engineers explained and showcased the concepts behind these novel technologies. Extended Reality (XR) refers to all environments that combine real and virtual elements generated by computer technology. It includes representative forms such as Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR), and Virtual Reality (VR). XR is a superset which includes the entire spectrum from “the complete real” to “the complete virtual” in the reality–virtuality continuum. Hyungseok Kim (“Prof Kim”) is a leading researcher and developer in computer graphics and virtual reality. He researches real-time interaction in virtual environments, multi-resolution modeling of shape and texture, and multi-modal interaction mechanisms. He teaches at Konkuk University on topics including: Computer Graphics, Multimedia Programming, Game Programming, and Linear Algebra. We hope you enjoy our special event coverage of SIGGRAPH Asia 2022, and our conversation with Hyungseok Kim, Program Chair of XR, and one of the world’s leading authorities on the vanguard of Extended Reality research.
