We present a method for tracking and interaction based on hybrid sensing for virtual environments. The proposed method is applied to motion tracking of whole areas, including the user's occlusion space, for a high-precision interaction. For real-time motion tracking surrounding a user, we estimate each joint position in the human body using a combination of a depth sensor and a wand-type physical user interface, which is necessary to convert gyroscope and acceleration values into positional data. Additionally, we construct virtual contents and evaluate the validity of results related to hybrid sensing-based whole-body tracking of human motion methods used to compensate for the occluded areas.

This study aims to improve the accessibility and efficiency of sign language education for both hearing impaired and non-deaf people. To this end, we developed VR realistic sign language education content that integrates hand tracking technology and conversational AI. Through this content, users can learn sign language in real time and experience direct communication in a virtual environment. As a result of the study, it was confirmed that this integrated approach significantly improves immersion in sign language learning and contributes to lowering the barriers to sign language learning by providing learners with a deeper understanding. This presents a new paradigm for sign language education and shows how technology can change the accessibility and effectiveness of education.

This paper presents a target model update scheme for the mean-shift tracking with background weighted histogram. In the scheme, the target candidate histogram is corrected by considering the back-projection weight of each pixel in the kernel after the best target candidate in the current frame image is chosen. In each frame, the target model is updated by the weighted average of the current target model and the corrected target candidate. We compared our target model update scheme with the previous ones by applying several test sequences. The experimental results showed that the object tracking accuracy was greatly improved by using the proposed scheme.

This paper proposes a new method for tracking image contents, which are re-distributed on the Internet using a web-robot and fingerprinting scheme. The fingerprinting is an extended technique of watermarking and embeds identity of the customer into the content as a fingerprint in a way that is very difficult to erase. The fingerprint in the content can be used widely in the field of the copyright protection technique because it identifies the content itself and includes the information about the original customer. In this paper we discuss an active image tracking system using a web-robot and fingerprinting scheme. In the proposed system the information of the original customer is embedded as a fingerprint into the image content before distribution and also stored into DB. The distributed contents are collected by the web-robot and fingerprinting information is extracted from the contents. Finally the identifying of contents is done by comparing the extracted fingerprint with the selling history of the content.

So that high-strength and electrical properties apply by excellent high voltage insulator electricity material, ATH content and platinum-based flame retardant that influence in flame retardant and tracking characteristic among composite of silicone rubber studied mechanical strength and influence getting to electrical properties. Composition of ${\alpha}$, ${\omega}-vinyl$ poly (dimethyl-methylphenyl) siloxane(VPMPS) of a polymer quantity made doing mole of D4, $D3^{Me,Ph}$ and VMS by 1000:15:0.2 mole ratio and uses basic catalyst tetramethylammonium silanolate(TMAS) and do opening equilibrium polymerization to be used to main polymer for high voltage insulation insulator. Control ATH content and content of platinum-based flame retardant and made high voltage insulation silicone rubber. Measured mechanical strength of making silicone rubber using UTM, and tracking characteristic according to standard of IEC 60587, flame retardant test studied effect that flame retardant characteristic gets in tracking characteristic, measuring according to UL94V method of test.

Some polymer materials including epoxy resin are being instead of porcelain for outdoor insulating materials such as insulators bushings cable terminators and surge arrester housing. And the largest problem to be overcomed is the tracking and erosion of the outdoor polymer material brought about by dry band arcing during prolonged exposure to contaminations. In this paper the effect of surface tension wettability flow rate of contaminants with varying surfactant content and frequency of applied voltage on the tracking breakdown of epoxy insulating materials were investigated. As the flow rate of contaminant is increased the surface resistivity is decreased and the leakage current is increased the time to tracking breakdown is decreased. It is found that time to tracking breakdown depends on the surface tension of contaminant that is difference of wettability. And as the frequency of applied voltage is increased time to tracking breakdown decreased.

The number of digital content used in mobile devices such as smartphones or tablet PCs has been rapidly increasing along with the development of IT industry. At the same time, studies on digital content management are actively conducted. One of the previous studies defined CTI(Content Tracking Information) for efficient management of the information on digital content usage between mobile devices in an area in which the internet is inaccessible, and suggested ways to deal with CTI management, reduction of the overhead and a technique of collecting as many CTIs as possible within a short time. This paper presents the design and implementation of a simulator capable of verifying the logic and the performance of the CTI management method. This tool simulates a mobile environment where devices move around in the internet inaccessible area and propagates digital contents each other. It shows several advantages including the efficient synchronization of CTI management and overhead reduction.

This study is a fundamental research for recycling waste vinyl (WV) in asphalt mixture for improving roadway pavement. Mix design was conducted by WV content and optimum asphalt content (OAC) was determined for dense-graded surface course mixture. Marshall stability test, indirect tensile strength (ITS) test and wheel tracking test were carried out to measure the characteristics of WV-added asphalt concretes. From the results of this study, recycling WV in asphalt mixture is possible. However, as WV content increased, melted WV clustering appeared in asphalt mixture. It could be considered that adding too much WV in asphalt mixture is not proper. The proper content of LDPE and HDPE WV was appeared to be 12% and 8%, respectively.

This study analyzes the visual perceptual difference of observers in the artworks created by human artists and artificial intelligence(AI) through eye-tracking. More specifically, the study analyzes the degree of visual attention through a fixation experiment on non-linguistic sources such as the formation and expression of artworks. As a result of this study, the subjects had guessed that one out of four artworks were created by AI (in actuality, 61.1% of the artworks were created by The Next Rembrandt). This demonstrates that most of the subjects hardly recognized the difference between the artwork of human artists and AI. From the comparative analysis of visual perceptual differences found through eye-tracking, more visual attention was found to be demanded for catching details of more stimulating visuals compared to less stimulating visuals. In the gender difference analysis, both of the female and male subjects were likely to stare more intently at the flowers of still-life paintings (Deep Dream & Vincent Van Gogh) while the eyes of a portrait painting (Rembrandt & The Next Rembrandt); this demonstrates no significant differences in gender. Various opinions on AI and art creation from different perspectives arose, therefore, this research is meaningful in a way that it suggests an objective examination through experiments with an artistic perspective.
