Jonathan Jules – Internship update
Today, undergraduate researcher Jonathan Jules is returning to Microsoft for his second year in their software engineering internship program. He is working in the Security and Compliance organization under Troy Davis and due to the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak it will be a remote internship, where the hardware necessary will be shipped for work.
Dr. Welch selected as a 2020 Pegasus Professor
The SREAL Team congratulates Dr. Welch on his selection as a 2020 Pegasus Professor.

A Tutorial about Embodied Interactive Virtual Characters has been accepted at IEEE VR 2020
A tutorial proposal, “Embodied Interactive Virtual Characters for Human-Subjects Studies,” has been accepted at IEEE VR 2020.
SREAL members (Kangsoo Kim, Nahal Norouzi, and Austin Erickson) will be presenting the tutorial on March 22, 2020 in Atlanta, GA.
The tutorial will cover prior works and recent trends in interactive virtual character research, and provide instructions for developing a simple interactive virtual character that can be controlled by conventional 2D user interfaces using Unity, considering human-in-the-loop studies.
