About

Jae Pyo Son is a researcher whose work bridges human-computer interaction and assistive technology, with a particular focus on developing accessible driving systems. His most cited paper, "Single-Handed Driving System with Kinect" (2013), demonstrates a pioneering approach to enabling individuals with physical disabilities to operate vehicles using gesture-based controls. By leveraging the Microsoft Kinect sensor, Son created a system that translates hand and arm movements into driving commands, offering a low-cost, non-invasive alternative to traditional adaptive driving equipment. This work, which has garnered 3 citations, represents an early and important step toward making driving more inclusive for those with limited mobility. While his publication record is focused, Son's contribution lies in the practical application of motion-sensing technology to solve real-world accessibility challenges. His research highlights the potential of repurposing consumer-grade hardware for assistive purposes, a concept that continues to influence the development of adaptive interfaces. For students and researchers in human-computer interaction and rehabilitation engineering, Son's work serves as a concise example of how creative technical solutions can expand independence for individuals with disabilities.
