■ The Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST) introduced on the sixteenth {that a} analysis crew led by Prof. Seungjun Kim on the School of Integrated Technology has developed an AI-based actuality–digital fusion know-how known as ‘SelfBlending’. This digital actuality (VR) know-how leverages the real world as an interactive useful resource in order that, throughout VR use, solely the real-world objects the consumer needs will be selectively displayed contained in the digital surroundings. Unlike conventional passthrough strategies, which present the complete real-world scene and disrupt the circulation of the digital surroundings, SelfBlending brings solely the required real-world assets into the digital world, maximizing continuity of labor. The analysis outcomes have been printed on-line on May 6 in the worldwide journal ‘IEEE TVCG’.
■ GIST introduced on the sixteenth that it’s going to maintain the ‘GIST Integration and Innovation Forum’ at 2 p.m. on the twenty sixth in the multipurpose corridor on the primary ground of the Oryong Building on the GIST campus. In the period of AI transformation (AX) and wide-area regional integration, the discussion board will focus on science- and technology-based regional innovation methods and discover methods to drive regional development by means of startup innovation and trade–academia collaboration. The discussion board can be held in conjunction with the opening ceremony of the GIST Startup Innovation Promotion Center, and can characteristic shows on 4 themes: the engine of financial development (startup innovation), the map of future industries (AI semiconductors), the coordinates of an innovation-driven nation (wide-area innovation methods), and the spirit and philosophy of the period (coexistence of AI civilization and humanity). The future development imaginative and prescient of the proposed Jeonnam–Gwangju Integrated Metropolitan City and the function of GIST in regional growth will even be offered.
■ KAIST introduced on the sixteenth that, along with Seoul National University (SNU) and the JoongAng Ilbo, it can host the ‘2026 Innovative Startup Nation Korea International Forum’ on the seventeenth and 18th on the Haedong Advanced Engineering Building on SNU’s Gwanak Campus. This 12 months’s discussion board, held underneath the theme ‘Deep Tech: Crossing the Valley of Death’, will concentrate on affected person capital and the function of revolutionary finance, that are key to the expansion of deep-tech startups. Prof. Jeong-Dong Lee of SNU College of Engineering will ship the keynote speech on the primary day, adopted by roundtable periods with home and worldwide consultants discussing long-term funding circumstances and coverage instructions for revolutionary finance. The awards ceremony for the ‘2026 Korea Innovative Startup Awards Competition’ will even happen.
■ POSTECH introduced on the sixteenth that, along with the Korea Institute for Advanced Study (KIAS) and Chosun University, it can host the worldwide educational occasion ‘Music, Mathematics & Language 2026’ from the 18th to the twentieth at POSCO Tower Yeoksam and the Korea House of Traditional Culture (KOUS). Bringing collectively home and worldwide researchers who discover the interrelationships amongst music, arithmetic, and language, the occasion goals to share the newest analysis achievements that make the most of data-driven methodologies and to promote interdisciplinary trade. In explicit, it can shed balanced gentle on analysis in each Western and Korean music, fostering educational communication and collaboration between the 2 fields.
