본 논문은 증강 현실(augmented reality)을 이용하여 학습자에게 효과적으로 교육할 수 있는 e-learning 교육컨텐츠 환경을 제공한다. 현재까지 연구되어온 증강환경을 이용한 교육 컨텐츠는 단순한 상호작용만을 허용하고, 실감형 인터페이스를 제공하기에는 제약이 따른다. 본 논문은 이를 개선하기 위해 기존의 교육 컨텐츠를 실감형 교육 컨텐츠로 전환할 수 있는 시스템 구성 방법에 관한 것으로써. 컨텐츠의 배치, 조작, 학습과정 등에서 기존의 교육 컨텐츠보다 인터랙티브하고 직관적으로 교육할 수 있는 실감형 인터페이스를 제공한다.

Recently, Augmented Reality(AR) technologies have been emerged, which shows the types of digital contents integrating real and virtual worlds. To maximize the effect of AR technology, tangible user interface, which enables users to interact with the contents in the same way in which they manipulate objects in real world, is applied. In particular, we expect that the technologies are able to enhance learners' interests and degree of immersion, and produce new learning contents in order to maximize the effect of learning. In this paper, we propose a learning system for scientific experiments with multi-touch screen and tangible user interface. The system consists of an experiment table equipped with a large multi-touch screen and a realistic learning device that can detect the user's simple gestures. In real world, some scientific experiments involve high cost, long time or dangerous objects, but this system will overcome such hindrance and provide learners with a variety of experiment experience in realistic ways.

유비쿼터스시대에 발맞추어 사용자가 언제 어디서나 편리하게 사용할 수 있는 컴퓨팅 환경의 제공이 가능해졌고 이에 따라 차세대 컴퓨팅으로서 휴대형 PC가 실용화될 전망이다. 차세대 휴대형 PC에서는 지금까지의 시각, 청각에 의한 인터페이스 외에도 촉각, 후각, 미각과 같은 인간의 오감을 통한 실감형 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 인터페이스가 등장할 것으로 예상된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 사용자 중심의 실감형 인터페이스를 구현하기 위하여 다른 삼감 즉 촉각, 후각, 미각 가운데에서 후각에 대하여 이를 어떻게 부호화 할 것이며 또한 MPEG7 기반에서 XML로 기술하는 방법과 활용문제에 대해 기술한다. 본 논문에서는 인간의 오감 가운데 기억과 밀접한 관계가 있는 후각정보를 기반으로 이를 표현, 재생, 검색할 수 있는 방법에 관하여 기술한다.

근래 다양한 형태의 멀티미디어 콘텐츠가 광범위하게 소비됨에 따라 단방향의 평면적 콘텐츠가 제공하는 시점의 한계에서 벗어나 사용자에게 보다 다양한 시점의 영상을 제공함으로써 사용자가 원하는 시점을 선택할 수 있는 실감형 콘텐츠에 대한 욕구가 증가하고 있다. 이러한 실감형 콘텐츠 중 하나인 파노라마 영상은 다수의 카메라를 통해 획득된 영상들을 하나의 영상으로 이어 붙여 넓은 시야의 영상을 제공함으로써 증대된 현장감과 몰입감을 제공하며 사용자 시점의 자유도를 증가시킬 수 있다. 사용자에게 파노라마 서비스를 제공할 때 마우스, 리모콘과 같은 정형적인 인터페이스가 아니라 사용자의 선호도에 따라 손쉽게 파노라마 공간을 제어할 수 있는 사용자 친화적인 인터페이스 기술이 함께 제공된다면 사용자가 느낄 수 있는 현실감과 몰입감은 배가될 것이다. 따라서 본 고에서는 현존하는 파노라마 기술 및 사용자 인터페이스 기술의 동향에 대해 알아보고, 상기 기술들의 결합을 통해 보다 사실적인 미디어 소비 환경을 제공하기 위한 사용자 친화적인 고품질의 휴먼융합형 파노라마 서비스에 대해 소개하고자 한다.

This study is to examine the effects of gesture based interface and display methods to make an effective virtual learning environment. The gesture based interface can provide interactive interface to make objects in the virtual learning environment by generating natural movement of users' gesture. This natural functionality leads users to apply natural movements as they do in real actions. Because of the natural user interface, the gesture based interface is expected to maximize learning outcomes. This study examined how the gesture based interface can be used when a head mounted display is applied for a virtual reality learning environment. For this study 44 colleagues students were participated. Two display methods (head mounted display vs. monitor) and two interface (gesture based interface vs. joystick) were tested to identify which might be more effective. The study was applied to different learning tasks which require different levels of spatial perception. The dependent variables are three constructs of virtual presence (spatial perception, immersiveness, and realness) and task completion time and recall tests. This study discussed potential disadvantages of gesture based interface while it showed positive usages of gesture based interface.

The design and implementation of the interaction for tangible user interfaces require in-depth knowledge in many different disciplines, such as device control, sensing and calibrating devices, interaction design, low-level programming, and performance tuning. Many trial and error iterations are needed to determine the proper combination of the interaction techniques while using available interaction devices and considering the characteristics of contents. As a result, it takes too much effort and time to achieve maximum usability. This paper introduces a tangible user-interface platform, which is fabricated using various hardware devices and an XML-based authoring tool, which is developed in order to relieve content creators of the burden of the above difficulties. Finally, we demonstrate our work by illustrating some example contents.

With the development of game technology, the realistic game graphics, interface technology, and various content services with immersion are being required in the content area. NUI has been developed through CLI and GUI. Unlike the conventional methods, it is an interface that could be the intuitive and realistic interface for human as a natural action realized. we propose a boxing simulation game using leap motion of it. Providing a realistic 3D experimental environment through VR headsets game, we also propose a method that can be calculated the scores if the user-controlled interface (fist) could be to punch the target (sandbag) of the internal in accordance with changes of the angle of target impact with the physical characteristics.

With the rapid spread of smart mobile products and practical use of wireless network, it became possible to offer the computing environment people can use anytime anywhere and it is predicted that portable computer as the next generation computing is to be put to practical use. This computer will be expected to have the new interface which provides realistic service through human's five senses as well as the interface through the visual and auditory senses. Accordingly, in this study, we are going to talk about the technology that expresses and reproduces what is based on olfactory information - closely related with memory among honan's five senses - in order to embody the lifelike user interface.

This study analyzed a group interview with six earth science teachers and eight middle school students to find out the evaluations and criteria they use to evaluate VR/AR contents (two virtual reality content and two augmented reality contents) in middle school science digital textbook. The study found the VR/AR contents were evaluated on four criteria as follows: VR/AR media characteristics; technical operation; user interface; and teaching-learning design. The evaluations can be summarized by each criterion. First, regarding VR/AR media characteristics, interesting features of VR/AR contents were considered relatively advantageous compared to other media like videos. However, its shortage of visual presence and inconvenience of using markers were mentioned as shortcomings. Second, in the technical operation criteria, teachers and students found the following conditions as technically challenging: failing to properly operate on a particular OS; huge volumes of contents in the application; and frequent freezing when using the application. Third, poor intuitiveness and lack of flexibility were found as negative aspects in user interface. Fourth, regarding teaching-learning design, the teachers evaluated whether the VR/AR contents delivered scientifically accurate information; whether they incorporated class goals set by teachers; and whether they can help students' inquiry. It turned out teachers gave negative feedbacks on VR/AR contents. The students evaluated VR/AR contents by assessing whether they help them with learning science but concluded they did not regard them necessary in science learning at school. Based on the findings, this study discusses which development direction VR/AR contents should take to be useful in teaching and learning science.

In this paper, we proposed a tangible RealBook based on the interface of TouchFace-V which is able to recognize multi-touch and hand gesture. The TouchFace-V is applied projection technology on a flat surface such as table, without constraint of space. The system's configuration is addressed installation, calibration, and portability issues that are most existing front-projected vision-based tabletop display. It can provide hand touch and gesture applying computer vision by adopting tracking technology without sensor and traditional input device. The RealBook deals with the combination of each advantage of analog sensibility on texts and multimedia effects of e-book. Also, it provides digitally created stories that would differ in experiences and environments with interacting users' choices on the interface of the book. We proposed e-book that is new concept of electronic book; named RealBook, different from existing and TouchFace-V interface, which can provide more direct viewing, natural and intuitive interactions with hand touch and gesture.
