The tangible virtual heritage environment employs a tangible interface to increase social interaction and engages user's understanding of cultural heritage with the activities in the virtual environment. Tangible Moyangsung is an tangible virtual heritage environment of a Korean war-defensive castle Moyangsung, and it allows a group of users to collaboratively play the tangible interface for fortifying the broken walls. This paper suggests an overview of cultural meanings behind Moyangsung and represents the details in the design and implementation of the Tangible Moyangsung system. It will also discuss improvements and further research directions.

개인의 추억이 담겨 있는 물건을 보면서 이와 연관된 사진, 동영상, 음악, 등 멀티미디어 자료들을 통하여 지난날의 소중한 기억과 경험을 생생하게 되살릴 수 있는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 사물에 대한 개인의 기억을 구성하는 중요한 요소는 그 물체를 획득한 시간과 공간 정보로, 이러한 시공간 정보를 바탕으로 개인의 기록과 추억을 재구성하고 멀티미디어 자료를 통하여 재생하는 방법을 제안하는 것이다. 제안된 시스템은 컴퓨터에 익숙하지 않은 사용자도 사물에 관한 정보를 직관적인 방식으로 관람 조작할 수 있어야 할 것이다. 본 논문에서는 탠저블 테이블탑 인터페이스를 활용한 상호 작용 방법을 제공함으로써 직관적이고 친숙한 정보 접근 방법을 만들어 내고자 한다.

정보 과학 기술의 발전과 생활 수준의 향상이 가속화되면서 주변 환경을 구성하는 가구나 공간조차도 정보 통신과 컴퓨터 기능이 내재된 인간과 상호작용할 수 있는 개념으로 확장되고 있다. 또한 비즈니스의 규모가 방대해지면서 협업이 필요성이 증가되는 가운데 단일 사용자에게 맞춰진 표준 데스크탑을 대체할 새로운 기기와 인터페이스에 대한 요구가 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이런 패러다임에 맞춰 선호되고 있는 테이블탑 컴퓨팅을 다수의 LCD와 PC를 포함하는 분산 하드웨어 방식의 고해상도 대형 디스플레이로 구성하고, 다중 사용자의 입력을 동시적으로 처리할 수 있는 적외선 카메라를 활용한 마커 인식 기반의 탠저블 인터페이스를 개발하였다. 그리고 이 시스템에서 동작하는 고해상도 이미지 뷰어와 퍼베이스브 블록 격파 게임 응용프로그램을 구현하였다.

Recently, as one method of the game manipulation, physical interactive game is increasing, which controls the program by direct human movement. Tangible interface for physical interactive game implementation can control virtual model directly through real world object. A digital desk, one of the tangible interface, offers the interface that human can manipulate virtual object directly, by making projection screen on real world desk as computer display device. In this paper, we implement "Battle Region" game in the form of tangible interface, which can offer game users an efficient and amusing experiences by the use of physical interactive game. Traditional game cannot pursuit the diversity of game background contents but our game can do it through Map image projection. From this, game provider can supply the diversity of choice and users ran set up the difficulty of game. Therefore, our implemented game can offer users an efficient and amusing experiences by making game user's challenge and satisfaction maximum.

In order to support simple authoring an application of augmented reality for diverse users, the process for the object registration comprised of tracking and recognizing the object should be accomplished intuitively and simple. Although many 3D reconstruction methods to be applied to the object registration have been developed, the methods have not beyond the experimental level yet. In this paper, we proposed a novel marker-based tangible interfaces for various users to manipulate the object with intuitive and simple approaches during an authoring applications fo augmented reality. The proposed method make use of marker as intuitive interface to obtain 3D geometric information of 3D reconstruction. 3D geometric information of an object surface is acquired by touching the object directly with the proposed tangible interfaces. The tangible interfaces not only support 3D reconstruction for graphical modeling but also offer features information which is used for augmented reality. Finally, we verify efficiency of the proposed method with demonstration of an augmented reality application using the proposed method.

Multi-touch display system has recently attracted world wide attention due to easy accessibility to the various interactive media without any specialized equipments. Especially, Microsoft Sphere(R) shows a considerable promise in treating non-fiat multi-touch display. The distinctive feature of the system is a stable multi-touch interaction on a spherical display. To extend the possibility of the interactions to the more various display surfaces, this paper propose a multi-touch interaction system in the circumstance of the irregular convex surface. The proposed method can be used efficiently in various tangible interface, for example, the interactive diorama system at the exhibition or the tangible arcade game.

In this research, a new tabletop system is developed to provide a high resolution display by using multiple displays and computers connected through networks, based on a master/slave architecture. This distributed tabletop system is built to be scalable by just adding slave computers and monitors without modifying any software. Moreover, a EBITA (Environment for Building Interactive Tangible Applications) framework is developed to support constructing interactive games running on this scalable tabletop platforms. EBITA framework consists of the tangible interface module based on the infrared camera tracking system, and the modules that allow easy development of the graphical programs on a distributed environment. This paper describes the tangible interface based on the camera tracking system and EBITA framework. It also introduces a game built with the EBITA framework.

This paper describes the iTABLE tabletop tiled display system which is designed for displaying high-resolution scientific visualization. Unlike other tabletop systems that typically use a projection-based single display, iTABLE system is suitable for visualizing and sharing high-resolution data, and it is capable of facilitating group interaction with interactive data visualizations on a table and distributed collaborative visualizations with other tiled displays. First, it surveys prior works on tabletop and tiled display systems as well as scientific visualization, and it describes the design and implementation of iTABLE system, and middleware and an infrared camera-based tangible user interface designed for iTABLE system. It will then discuss some high-resolution scientific visualization applications developed for iTABLE followed by conclusions and future research directions.
