A new intelligent home appliance is being appeared with overlap of telecommunication and home appliance technology. In this kind of product the user interface especially on screen display(OSD) and remote controller, holds a key post and is critical factor of performance and usability. In spite of this importance, the user interface is designed by circurt engineer from a viewpoint of engineering on the basis of his experience and unsophisticated insight. Therefore this study clarifies a user- centered design process of OSD from the designer's viewpoint on the basis of development case and gives a guideline for each stage in consideration of characteristic features that the user interface design of OSD is highly enfluenced by hardware specification and restricted by remote controller as input device.

MZ Generation has multipersona and characteristics that create various egos depending on the situation, and fashion styling is also expressed differently by each persona. Thus, this study investigates how to provide a multipersona or characteristic user experience to fashion shopping applications. Traditional fashion shopping apps, which focus on items, colors, and advertisements, have difficulty solving the problems of MZ generation fashion, so it is necessary to actively utilize their characteristics. We investigate the definitions and characteristics of multipersona and generation MZ, and identify the shopping behavior of generation MZ through prior research. We also analyze cases and improvements that indirectly utilize multipersona in fashion shopping apps. Four UX elements were derived through user interviews to identify needs and It was possible to derive positive effects, such as providing a shopping experience by forming one's own fashion characters in a personalized fashion beyond the existing fashion recommendation frame, which helps to worry about styling and gives a different experience.

Most of public underground facilities are installed under the ground, thus it is difficult to recognize the accurate location even with the drawings. Studies are conducted to understand exact position of underground facilities using augmented reality. However, in those studies, establishing of additional 3D object model database is needed when AR system is used at field. Because most of public underground facility information are established as 2 dimensional. In this study, AR system is developed as mobile application which can use original 2D underground facility data to transfer 3D AR data automatically without additional 3D database establishment.

Smart Mirror is considered as a suitable tool to provide image making service because it can attach various devices such as a camera and a microphone in addition to the main advantage of a mirror that it is easily accessible. In this paper, we present BuddyMirror - a smart mirror software that provides image-making service to users, and a dedicated mobile app for flexibly running the mirror software. BuddyMirror provides functions for presentation, mock interview, and styling service at the request of users, interworking with the dedicated mobile app. We also describe the techniques developed for implementing and activating each of the new services as a module of MagicMirror, a widely used smart mirror development platform. The developed mobile app enables users to deliver presentations to BuddyMirror or to download the recorded video for image-making services.
