This paper introduce a quiz game contents based on gesture interface. We analyzed the off-line quiz games, extracted its presiding components, and digitalized them so that the proposed game contents is able to substitute for the off-line quiz games. We used the Kinect camera to obtain the depth images and performed the preprocessing including vertical human segmentation, head detection and tracking and hand detection, and gesture recognition for hand-up, hand vertical movement, fist shape, pass and fist-and-attraction. Especially, we defined the interface gestures designed as a metaphor for natural gestures in real world so that users are able to feel abstract concept of movement, selection and confirmation tangibly. Compared to our previous work, we added the card compensation process for completeness, improved the vertical hand movement and the fist shape recognition methods for the example selection and presented an organized test to measure the recognition performance. The implemented quiz application program was tested in real time and showed very satisfactory gesture recognition results.

The arcade gun has been a popular game controller in the video game market from the 1970s. The arcade gun, which is used partially in game centers and domestic games, recently is utilized as the interface for the interactive system and tangible media. On the other hand, the existing arcade gun has limits on hardware so it is unsuitable for wide screens. In addition, being platform-dependent, it is inapplicable to various types of content as a single module. This study suggests a correction algorithm that establishes an arcade gun system based on an infrared camera to solve those drawbacks and apply to possibly numerous surroundings.

최근 현대 사회에 '가상현실'개념이 도입됨에 따라 '가상현실'기술이 적용된 게임 콘텐츠들이 활성화되고 있는 추세이다. 이와 더불어 기존의 GUI와 NIUI에서 발전된 새로운 인터페이스로 텐저블 인터페이스(Tangible Interface)가 급부상하면서 관련 인터페이스를 활용한 연구 또한 필요한 시점이며, 이를 기반으로 하여 '가상현실'기술과 텐저블 인터페이스를 융합한 새로운 게임 콘텐츠를 제안을 하고자 '가상현실' 기기를 활용한 텐저블 인터페이스 기반의 학습용 Unity 3D 게임 콘텐츠를 제작하였다.

In this paper I present a system that with infrared vision sense tracks the position and orientation of a wireless object on a tabletop display surface. The system offers two types of improvements over existing computer vision tracking approaches. First, the system tracks an object accurately without susceptibility to changes in lighting conditions. Second, the system tracks not only the orientation but button click state of the object. This system can detect these changes in real time. Finally, I present an application of the system : Color Lab Box.

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.

Objective: This paper describes the process and results related to the development of gesture recognition-based natural user interface(NUI) for vehicle maintenance e-Training system. Background: E-Training refers to education training that acquires and improves the necessary capabilities to perform tasks by using information and communication technology(simulation, 3D virtual reality, and augmented reality), device(PC, tablet, smartphone, and HMD), and environment(wired/wireless internet and cloud computing). Method: Palm movement from depth camera is used as a pointing device, where finger movement is extracted by using OpenCV library as a selection protocol. Results: The proposed NUI allows trainees to control objects, such as cars and engines, on a large screen through gesture recognition. In addition, it includes the learning environment to understand the procedure of either assemble or disassemble certain parts. Conclusion: Future works are related to the implementation of gesture recognition technology for a multiple number of trainees. Application: The results of this interface can be applied not only in e-Training system, but also in other systems, such as digital signage, tangible game, controlling 3D contents, etc.

Currently, as Korea enters into a fast aging society, the problem of dementia population is increasing. In this paper, we intend to contribute to the improvement of welfare for the elderly by developing virtual reality technology and related interface technology to effectively perform hand movements known as effective methods for preventing and treating dementia. As the content of the research and development of this paper, it is designed to be easy for the elderly to use and stimulate brain function by applying VR technology using sensors, and to activate mental and physical activities for the elderly who are marginalized in terms of cultural welfare. We intend to develop by classifying the types of games and contents that can induce them. As a result of this thesis, we developed contents using virtual reality to improve cognitive abilities for elderly people with poor cognitive ability to activate the brains of users' cognition, memory, and attention to prevent and treat dementia I want to contribute.

Recently, new games have been experimented to be given the adaptive interfaces equipped with AI algorithms which could interpret the user's personality, behavioral patterns, and physiological conditions in realtime. In this paper, we propose the intermediate form of tangible interface for PC package, which is currently decaying in commercial market.

NUI(Natural User Interface)는 사용자가 신체부위를 사용하여 인터페이스 할 수 있는 기술이다. 본 연구에서는 NUI 공간에서 체감형 게임을 시행하였다. 게임은 태권도게임으로 사용자와 컴퓨터간의 대련이며, 게임 시 사용자의 심전도 신호를 측정하였다. 사용자는 심전도데이터를 게임 시에 사용자 프로파일로 전송한다. 전송받은 심전도신호로 사용자의 심박변이도를 분류하여 분류기 실험을 시행하고 정확도를 측정하였다. 실험은 체감형 게임 시행 전과 시행 후의 상태로 나누어 실험하였으며, 분류기는 Decision Tree를 사용하였다. 실험결과 심박변이율은 게임 시행 후 정확도가 4.16% 높게 도출되었다.

There is always a rhythm in our language and speech. As soon as we speech out, even just simple words and voice we make are edited as various emotions and information. Through this process we succeed or fail in our communication, and it becomes a fun communication or a monotonous delivery. Even with the same music, impression of the play can be different according to each musician' s emotion and their understanding. We 'play' our language in the same way as that. However, I think, people are used to the variety, which is, in fact, the variation of a set format covered with hollow variety. People might have been living loosing or limiting their own creative way to express themselves by that hollow variety. SPACIAL POEM started from this point. This is a new type of 'real-time visual interaction' expressing our own creative narrative as real-time visual by playing a musical instrument which is an emotional human behavior. Producing many kinds of sound by playing musical instruments is the same behavior with which we express our emotions through. There are sensors on each hole on the surface of the musical instrument. When you play it, sensors recognize that you have covered the holes. All sensors are connected to a keyboard, which means your playing behavior becomes a typing action on the keyboard. And I programmed the visual of your words to spread out in a virtual 3D space when you play the musical instrument. The behavior when you blow the instrument, to make sounds, changes into the energy that makes you walk ahead continuously in a virtual space. I used a microphone sensor for this. After all by playing musical instrument, we get back the emotion we forgot so far, and my voice is expressed with my own visual language in virtual space.
