Designing a user interface is important because the user interface determines the level of physical and mental engagement of the user resulting in their level of learning. This paper investigated how physical engagement through a different user interfaces is associated with fun and learning and presented a theoretical physical engagement model called, PEM, developed based on an empirical user study. The PEM model describes how a game user interface is associated with the level of fun and learning, particularly in playing a full body engaged game. There are many different types of games but the Wii Tennis, an embodied interactive game, was chosen as an instance of full body engaged game. A user study with 32 participant's age ranged from 21 to 40 years old revealed that there is a positive correlation between both fun and learning and the level of physical engagement through two different user interfaces. The results of the study showed that the extent of fun and learning are associated with the physical engagement of the player through an interface. As an implication from the study, the result recommend that the level of user engagement is realized by an effective user interface, and the level of physical engagement is determined by the level of authenticity bridged by the user interface.

In this paper we present INCUI, a user interface based on natural view of physical user interface of target devices and services in pervasive computing environment. We present a concept of Intuitively Natural and Consistent User Interface (INCUI) consisted of an image of physical user interface and a description XML file. Then we elaborate how INCUI template can be used to consistently map user interface components structurally and visually. We describe the process of INCUI mapping and a novel mapping method selection architecture based on domain size, types of source and target INCUI. Especially we developed and applied an extended LCS-based algorithm using prefix/postfix/synonym for similarity calculation.

Whereas traditional user interface are well accepted modes of information exchange, the new digital conversion type's of information media is relatively complex and provides new means of transaction with user interface. User interface can be decomposed into two component: the physical structure through which information media is controlled, and the presentation of the content. This research explores the two user interface element have different effect on the adoption of information media and, as such, can influence perceived usefulness, perceived easy of use, and intention of use. The hypotheses have been tested with the survey of 148 end-users examines two interface characteristics factors such as efficiency, error, design, entertainment, accuracy, and vividness, and so on. The research summarized in this paper decomposes the influence of interface elements of physical structure interface and content presentation interface to gain a better understanding of how interface stimulates user's perceived usefulness to adopt the information media.

Research in Human Computer Interface (HCI) is towards development of an application environment able to deal with interactions of both human and computers that can be more intuitive and efficient. This can be achieved by bridging the gap between the synthetic virtual environment and the natural physical environment. Thus a project called Tangible Space Initiative (TSI) has been launched by KIST. TSI is subdivided into Tangible Interface (TI) which controls 3D cyber space with user's perspective, Responsive Cyber Space (RCS) which creates and controls the virtual environment and Tangible Agent (TA) which senses and acts upon the physical interface environment on behalf of any components of TSI or the user. This paper is a brief introduction to a new generation of Human Computer Interface that bring user to a new era of interaction with computers in the future.

This article introduces developing trends of an 'Ubiquitous Interface' as an access method for use of various network resources, such as public wireless networks and un-licensed wireless networks in ubiquitous sensor network environments, without troublesome settings or operations by users. 'Ubiquitous Interface' is a relatively wide sense meaning not only physical interface of specified device or between processors, but anything method for access USN. These 'Ubiquitous Interface' able to provide seamless services that adapt autonomously to the user's movements and changes in the state of wireless resources. Recently, strongly recommended current technologies are RFID, NFC, Multi-mode mobile terminal, UMA mobile terminal and Wearable computer as a future ubiquitous interface. These technologies are have to have flexibility and multiple physical communication channels for seamless service hand over and serve easy connection at huge USN to user. Also, they have to must have flexible software structure. Finally, through the 'Ubiquitous Interface', we will be experience of seamless communication and realize a real liberty of communication.

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.
