Recently, many researches of making more comfortable input device based on gaze detection technology have been performed in human computer interface. Previous researches were performed on the computer environment with a large sized monitor. With recent increase of using mobile device, the necessities of interfacing by gaze detection on mobile environment were also increased. In this paper, we research about the gaze detection method by using UMPC (Ultra-Mobile PC) and an embedded camera of UMPC based on face and facial feature detection by AAM (Active Appearance Model). This paper has following three originalities. First, different from previous research, we propose a method for tracking user's gaze position in mobile device which has a small sized screen. Second, in order to detect facial feature points, we use AAM. Third, gaze detection accuracy is not degraded according to Z distance based on the normalization of input features by using the features which are obtained in an initial user calibration stage. Experimental results showed that gaze detection error was 1.77 degrees and it was reduced by mouse dragging based on the additional facial movement.

The Internet has become a part of our lives. As the number of devices with Internet accessibility increases, users can use web services with those devices anytime, anywhere. Web contents on the web page can be delivered to user in various forms for various devices and users want to use seamlessly the contents with an appropriate device. Web browser extension is function to add features that are not supported by default browser. All browsers support extensions that provide the same services for cross-browser. In this paper, We proposed object migration architecture between heterogeneous browsers by expanding our proposed mechanism that identifies objects and the information of those objects to be migrated in the web page, extracts the object and creates object after migration. For this purpose, we analyzed the extension architecture of representative browsers and investigated necessary files to develop objects migration extension. In addition, We investigated how to send and receive message among files in each browser extension and the interaction mechanism among those files. Finally, We implemented the object migration mechanisms between heterogeneous browsers.

Banana is the eighth most important crop in the world designated by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). In terms of production, it is the fourth most harvested crop following wheat, rice, and corn, considered to be a promising food source for mankind as it is not only scrumptious but also rich in nutrients. However, abnormal cultivation methods that mankind has invented to breed bananas is currently pushing them to the state of extinction. The aim of this study is to develop information-rich digital contents that can easily and intriguingly convey information about steadily but certainly increasing risk of banana extinction. The end-users are middle and high school students who are assumed to be aware of the agricultural revolution through their school curriculum. The linear storytelling method was meant to encourage the end-users to be interested in the causes and processes in which banana has become endangered. For generating a natural interaction between the content and the end-users, a parallel, upper-lower structure was used, in which the relationship between the stories comprising several stages and the information graphic supporting each story is represented. This paper can support an information campaign about the endangered species.

The purpose of this thesis is to suggest the direction of various online education media to be developed in the future by studying the necessity and cases of non-face-to-face online craft education programs. To this end, among the online class platforms currently operated in Korea, four places that contain craft education programs were selected and analyzed for comparison. Class101, Hobbyful, Conects-Hobby Class, and Air Klass are examples. As a result of the study, the common features and advantages of the convenience of accessing contents and the diversity of class composition were found. However, there was a limitation in that the real-time inquiry and response system was not systematically implemented in most online class platforms. In particular, as the number of users of the online class platform is gradually increasing in the untact era caused by Covid-19, continuous research and development will be required to ensure that interaction, the most important characteristic of face-to-face, can also be performed well on online platforms.

The purpose of this study is to examine the potential of flip learning in Korea and to explore the possibilities of university English education. To this end, participants are sought for classes wherein general English class is taught and the researcher is in charge of teaching. 25 students of media-English class is chosen for the study. Instruments for the study include class evaluation and feedbacks, mid-term and final exams, group performative evaluation, on-line class views and participations. The findings of the study are: As students progress in flipped learning classes, their exam results significantly improved, and their performative evaluation results also improved significant across different groups. The effects are more eminent among higher levels of students, but students with mid and low level of English still improved significantly once they engage themselves in preview activity on a regular basis and self-directedly.

Development of 5th generation mobile telecommunication technology is visualizing ideal hyper-connected social information and communication technology (ICT). In particular, virtual reality (VR) technology is at the starting point for new expansion and leaps. This work defines virtual reality as media in this context and collects and analyzes discourse on its scalability around space and communication theory. We first elaborated the concept, starting with the early discussions of the virtual reality concept in 1990, and discussed the relationship between the physical world and digital information, expression and interaction immersion as a medium, simulation, art creation theory, and finally evolutionary development. In conclusion, beyond the discourse on the technology of virtual reality, academic subjects were required to have theoretical frameworks on cognitive science, neuroscience, social science, and humanities issues (ethics, personality, etc.) for the development and evolution of virtual reality. In other words, it is time for the evolution of virtual reality to be discussed, which can be moved beyond.

Most cultural contents currently we face are not suitable for associating with state of arts and high technology as simply providing one-sided learning. Pictures and movies of cultural contents also sees to utilize for efficacy of cultural education. There are still some limitations to draw interest from users when providing one-sided learning for cultural study, which aims to only deliver knowledge itself. In this paper, we propose interactive HMD VR cultural contents that can support more experience to get rid of aforementioned limitations. To this end, we first select quite interesting and wellknown cultural contents from world wide to draw more attention and effect. To increase immersion, presence and interactivity we have used HMD VR and Leapmotion, which intentionally draws more attention to increase interest. The cultural contents also facilitate augmented information as well as puzzle gaming components. To verify, we have carried out a user study as well.

Recently, realistic contents such as virtual reality(VR) and augmented reality (AR) are widely used for education to provide beneficial learning environments with thee-dimensional(3D) information and interactive technology. Specially, AR technology will be helpful to intuitively understand by adding virtual objects registered in the real learning environment with effective ways. In this paper, we developed an AR learning system using 3D spatial information in the 2D based textbook for studying math related to geometry. In order to increase spatial learning effect, we applied to solid shapes such as prisms and pyramids in mathematics education process. Also, it allows participants to use various shapes and expression methods (e.g., wireframe mode) with interaction. We conducted the experiment with our AR system, evaluated achievement and interest. Our experimental study showed positive results, our results are expected to provide effective learning methods in various classes through realistic visualization and interaction methods.

In this study, we designed and analyzed two main structures for effectively implementing the behavior of intelligent NPCs the Hierarchical Finite State Machine (HFSM) and the Behavior Tree, by creating experimental games. The HFSM was found to be efficient for complex interaction-centered actions where state changes and transitions are crucial, while the Behavior Tree was effective in dynamic environments where ease of modification and expansion are required for dynamic responses under various conditions. These structures were experimentally applied using the Unity engine to verify their efficiency. This study focused on the basic structure design and plans to apply these structures to an upcoming action-adventure escape game. The results of this research are expected to assist game developers in efficiently implementing intelligent NPCs, thereby contributing to the improvement of game quality and player satisfaction.
