사용자-제품 상호작용(User-product interaction)의 관점에서 사용자의 만족도는 제품의 사용편의성(Usability)과 감성품질에 의해서 결정된다. 특히, 물리적으로 사용자와 제품의 기능을 연결하는 PUI(Physical User Interface)의 감성품질은 시각뿐 아니라 촉감, 동작감, 청감 등의 사용자의 다양한 감성의 조합으로 이루어져 있다. 문헌조사에 의하면, 사용자의 감성 만족도를 향상시키기 위한 제품의 시각적 감성품질에 관련된 연구는 활발하게 진행되고 있으나, 촉감, 동작감, 청감 등의 감성품질에 관련된 연구는 상대적으로 미흡한 실정이다. 이러한 관점에서 제품의 전체적인 감성품질을 평가하기 위해서는 제품과 사용자가 상호작용하는 PUI의 전반에 대한 사용자 만족도(User Satisfaction)의 정량적인 평가가 필수적이며, PUI의 감성품질을 구성하는 시각에 대한 고려뿐만 아니라, 예를 들어 조작장치를 잡는 느낌, 조작장치가 움직일 때의 동작감, 조작장치 작동 시의 청감 등 사용자와 조작장치 간에 일어나는 상호작용 전반에 관한 연구가 이루어져야 한다. 본 연구에서는 PUI의 구성요소 중 동적인 조작장치의 촉감, 동작감, 청감에 대하여 문헌 조사를 통해 조작 장치의 감성을 구성하는 요소들을 체계적으로 파악하였고, 감성의 요소를 중복 설명하지 않는 상호독립적인 의미를 가진 감성 형용사를 수집하고 분류한 후, 추출한 형용사를 기초로 설문지를 작성하였으며, 사용자들의 설문을 통하여 자료를 수집하였다. 구조방정식 기법을 사용하여, 조작장치의 전체적인 사용자 만족도와 촉감, 동작감, 청감 간의 상관관계 모형을 수립하였다. 또한 구조방정식의 결과를 바탕으로 인간공학 전문가와 제품설계 전문가로 이루어진 FGI(Focus Group Interview)를 실시하여 잡는 느낌, 동작감, 청감과 관련된 조작장치의 적절한 설계 변수를 결정한 후 설계값을 측정하였으며 감성 만족도와 측정치 간의 상관관계를 분석하여 감성품질 요소의 정량화를 수행하였다. 본 연구결과는 실제 산업현장에서 제품개발자들이 사용자 만족도에 영향을 미치는 제품 설계요소들의 상대적인 중요도를 평가하고, 감성품질을 결정하는 설계특성값을 구체적으로 파악하는데 실질적인 도움을 줄 것으로 기대된다.

This paper introduce a structure of haptic collaboration system over high resolution tiled-display, and proposes a object based efficient display method for high resolution display in integrated system. in addition, a modeling of visualization system is defined to evaluate performance of the proposed method. Both haptic system and tiled-display system have requirements of computational power. A haptic device is unstable if haptic rendering rate is less than 1kHz. A requirement of tiled-display systems is frame rate of display. It requires update of 30 frame fer sec. If we use these systems independently, we can satisfy each requirements. However, if we integrate two systems, performance of entire system significantly decreases because of lack of resources. In this paper, therefore, we propose a segmentation-based display method for ultra high resolution display in integrated system. The proposed method reduces redundancy of display data by reducing a display rate of static objects. Finally, a modeling of visualization system is defined to evaluate performance of the proposed method.

In this paper, a transparency analysis and network-adaptive transport scheme are proposed in order to improve transparency of EBA-based force-reflecting teleoperation. EBA guarantees stability of force-reflecting teleoperation over network delay and loss but has limitation that it cannot overcome transparency deterioration of haptic interactions. The proposed transparency analysis quantifies the force feedback distortion caused by network delay and loss. Based on the analysis, the proposed haptic data synchronization and transmission rate control schemes adapt synchronization delay and transmission rate to current network state for more transparent haptic interaction. Through Matlab/Simulink simulations, it is confirmed that the proposed analysis provides an acceptable quantification method about haptic interaction quality and that the proposed haptic data transport scheme effectively improves haptic interaction quality with respect to network delays and losses.

In this paper, we use VR technologies including touch processing technologies and haptic devices to offer touch of fish objects to users. The Omni, a kind of haptic device and made by Sensable Inc., is used to implement multi touch model in VR space. In addition, Matlab/Simulink and proSENSE Virtual Touch Toolbox of Handshake Inc., are used as programing tools. Functions needed to describe the movement of x, y, and z axis respectively are applied to delineate the natural movement of fish objects modeled with 3D. Such movements offer realistic physical interactions to two users controlling multi point respectively. In experiment, to perceive the appearance of 3D object by touch and to feel the respiration by touch are well conducted. We also verify that it is possible to develop games or contents through multi participation in VR Space by using multi point.

We propose a haptic rendering technology for touchable video. Our touchable video technique allows users for feeling the sense of touch while probing directly on 2D objects in video scenes or manipulating 3D objects brought out from video scenes using haptic devices. In our technique, a server sends video and haptic data as well as the information of 3D model objects. The clients receive video and haptic data from the server and render 3D models. A video scene is divided into small grids, and each cell has its tactile information which corresponds to a specific combination of four attributes: stiffness, damping, static friction, and dynamic friction. Users can feel the sense of touch when they touch directly cells of a scene using a haptic device. Users can also examine objects by touching or manipulating them after bringing out the corresponding 3D objects from the screen. Our touchable video technique proposed in this paper can lead us to feel maximum satisfaction the haptic-audio-vidual effects directly on the video scenes of movies or home-shopping video contents.

As virtual reality technology became popular, a high demand emerged for natural and efficient interaction with the virtual environment. Mid-air manipulation is one of the solutions to such needs, letting a user manipulate a virtual object in a 3D virtual space. In this paper, we focus on manipulating a remote virtual object while visually displaying the object and providing tactile information on the object's weight. We developed two types of wearable interfaces that can provide cutaneous or vibrotactile feedback on the virtual object weight to the user's fingertips. Human perception of the remote virtual object weight during manipulation was evaluated by conducting a psychophysics experiment. The results indicate a significant effect of haptic feedback on the perceived weight of the virtual object during manipulation.

This paper proposes a game controller that provides user motion input and tactile feedback display, in addition to the traditional button-type input. The device utilizes both an accelerometer and an infrared camera in order to estimate 3D position and to recognize user motion. The information from the accelerometer and the camera are integrated for better performance. Various tactile sensations are presented using a voice-coil type vibrator. We apply the proposed controller to a motion-based game and validate its usability.

This paper proposes a mobile navigation system which haptically presents the way to go to visually impaired persons. In order to convey the tactile information to the visually impaired persons, we develop a new tactile module with a solenoid, a permanent magnet and an elastic spring. Furthermore, we suggest 2D vibration flow which originates from one point and gradually propagates to other points on a surface of the haptic navigation system. The tactile module and the vibration flow method are incorporated into the proposed haptic navigation system and they stimulate the user's finger pad and palm, respectively. We conduct experiments to investigate that the proposed navigation system haptically provides the direction to the users. From the experimental results, we verify that the proposed system can generate enough tactile sensation to guide the direction to go in real-time.
