Recent paradigm in technology shifts from object-based technology to environment-based technology. Issue here is interaction among humans and the world around humans. The world we consider includes natural and artificial "space." Interactive technology, which explore holistic interactions based on "Mom (embodiment)," suggests a good starting point for exploring this issue. Soft engineering, "Mom," holistic interactions, tangible space, ubiquitous computing, science of emotion, and interactive media are key concepts in interactive technology. Interactive tangible media "iT_Media" is proposed to explore and synthesize these ideas. Interactive technology initiative (ITI) is an interdisciplinary research group to search for the proper technology and the proper way of implementing technology: "interactive technology" or "soft engineering." Some experimental activities conducted by ITI are presented in this paper.tal activities conducted by ITI are presented in this paper.

본 논문에서는 smartphone과 Arduino, Max/Msp를 이용한 모바일 미디어 아트 시스템을 제안한다. 시스템의 입력장치로 flexible센서가 부착된 tangible glove와 smartphone의 app이 사용되었고 이들의 조작 데이터는유(무)선 시리얼통신 및 TCP/IP 통신을 통해 원격지 서버상의 Max/Msp 어플리케이션으로 전달된다. 서버는 전달된 데이터를 기반으로 서버와 연결되어 있는 로봇 기타리스트의 열손가락을 제어하고 사운드 및 제반 영상을 출력한다. 결과적으로 사용자는 연주자인 동시에 관객으로서 시각, 촉각, 청각의 다양한 감각을 동시에 만족하고, 시스템에 몰입할 수 있게 된다. 본 논문에서는 기존 미디어 아트 시스템들이 가지고 있었던 사용자의 단순 참여라는 1차원적인 논리에서 벗어나고자 다양한 시스템의 결합을 통해 작품참여를 유도하였고 이를 통해 사용자가 그들만의 고유한 작품을 생성함으로써 기존의 미디어 아트 시스템과의 차별성을 도모하였다.

Recent advanced technologies enable multiple users to share the virtual environment and work together as they are collocated. Additional sensory information such as haptic could improve the cooperation. In this paper, we propose a server-client architecture with multi-rate haptic control to support a tangible cooperation. Using our approach, the system is able to maintain a consistent simulation state across multiple users as well as to provide a highfidelity stable haptic interaction. To verify our approach, we have developed an experimental application and tested the cooperation among multiple users. The results confirm that our system is able to provide coherency among clients as well as haptic transparency.

최근 소셜 미디어(Social Media)라는 말은 컴퓨터 관련 연구분야에 종사하는 사람들 뿐만 아니라 일반 사람들도 모르는 사람이 없을만큼 중요하고, 많이 쓰이는 말이다. 본 연구에서는 인터넷과 통신기기의 발달로 이러한 소셜 미디어들이 사용자들이 감당할 수 없을 만큼 생성되지만 이러한 소셜 미디어를 어떻게 사용하고 효율적으로 묶어서 표현해야 하는지에 관한 연구이다. 소셜미디어의 종류에는 블로그, 소셜 네트워킹 서비스(SNS), 위키, UCC, 마이크로 블로그 등으로 나누어진다. 본 연구에서는 Social Media를 기반으로 Tangible Blog를 위한 콘텐츠를 저작하는 시스템에 관한 연구를 진행한다. 여기서 소셜미디어는 일반적으로 사용되는 사진, 동영상, 효과음, 텍스트에 3D Contents를 추가는 것을 목표로 한다. 3D Contents는 현재 게임분야에 많이 사용되고 있는 Kinect를 이용하여 생성하고 이러한 소셜 미디어들을 Web 환경에서 Authoring 하는 방법에 관한 연구를 소개한다. 최종적으로는 현재 많이 사용되고 있는 Blog의 형태에서 발전한 Tangible Blog를 만드는 것이 목표이다. 여기서 Tangible Blog는 기존의 텍스트, 음악, 동영상 등의 소스를 이용한 사용자의 일상생활 및 의견 표현을 넘어선 3D Contents의 활용, 스토리텔링 기법 활용 및 Sensory Effect를 활용한 실감 있는 블로그를 만드는 것을 목표로 한다.

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 study is a basic research towards diffusion of discourse regarding TUI-based experience exhibition. In that purpose this study tries to find out the development type of children's experience exhibition using TUI by analyzing children's experience exhibition phenomena that are changing in digital environment. For the sake of this research, cases of experience exhibitions were analyzed and characteristics were derived based on TUI(Tangible User Interface) and on the types of tangibles. As results of this study, TUI elements were found in the order of interactive planes, connection of bits and atoms, and environmental media and Tangibles were ranked in the order of stuff, planes, devices, and space types. This fact shows that TUI is actively used in experience exhibitions where children's active participation and extended experience is necessary.

We introduce an introductory engineering education course for engineering majors and non-engineering majors. This course does not require any previous knowledge and experience on engineering. It requires strong curiosities and imaginations on current and future society we live in, where technology is inseparable ingredient. Course encourages attendees to explore fundamental issues of engineering: what is proper technology and what are proper ways of exercising engineering, issues dealt in soft engineering. Since course topics cover many aspects of technology, traditional learning methods fail to be successful and efficient. Various efficient learning methods have been proposed and implemented. We utilize various interactive tangible media, which include simulated thought experiments and physical media experiences. About 20 episodes in short film format are produced based on scenario written according to related issues selected. Physical media like interactive robots are introduced for attendees' stimulated experiences. We summarize our exciting experiments on interactive teaching experiences at Pusan National University which include on/off-line interactions, assignments, projects, and evaluations.
