π€ About Me
Nice to meet you! Iβm Hail Song, a Ph.D. student at the UVR Lab, KAIST Graduate School of Culture Technology, under the supervision of Prof. Woontack Woo (with a minor in the Graduate School of Metaverse).
My research lies at the intersection of neural rendering, 3D human avatar reconstruction, and immersive XR systems. I develop both reconstruction methods and real-time XR avatar systems for creating and deploying high-fidelity 3D avatars from accessible inputs such as single images, monocular videos, and sparse egocentric signals. My work spans single-image head avatar generation, full-body avatar reconstruction, and real-time 3D Gaussian avatar systems for immersive XR.
Previously, I worked as a computer vision engineer at InBody, and I have hands-on experience in C++, Python, and building end-to-end AR/VR systems. Iβm deeply interested in bridging cutting-edge research and real-world application, especially in the context of extended reality (XR).
If youβre curious about my work or interested in collaboration, feel free to get in touch!

I find joy in bringing virtual humans to life through my research. Take a look at my virtual self in this video! The dancing sequence is an implementation of LHM, a fascinating recent paper, whereas the other parts are directly tied to my own research. For more details, please see my publications.
