Purpose: This study investigated the effects of virtual reality-based task training (VRBTT) using a smart glove on upper extremity function and activity of daily living in stroke patients. Methods: Twenty-nine patients with chronic stroke disease were randomly allocated to two groups: the VRBTT group (n=14) and the control group (n=15). All patients received 30 minutes of standard occupational therapy, 5 times a week, for 8 weeks. The VRBTT group performed an additional 30 minutes of virtual reality-based rehabilitation training, 5 times a week, for 8 weeks. Results: Both groups showed significant improvements in upper extremity function, yielding an increase in FMA and K-WMFT (p<0.05). There was a more significant increase in the VRBTT group before and after interventions (p<0.05). There was no significant difference in MAS for the control group (p>0.05); however, there was a significant increase for the VRBTT group (p<0.05). In the activities of daily living, there was a significant difference in the values for K-MBI (p<0.05). In addition, both groups showed a significant increase for K-MBI and K-RNLI (p<0.05). Conclusion: This study showed that VRBTT using smart gloves can have a more positive effect on upper extremity function and activities of daily living in stroke patients than conventional intervention methods. A variety of virtual reality-based contents and glove-shaped wearable devices will help stroke patients in rehabilitation clinics recover and return to society.

기존 증강현실은 객체와 배경과의 원활한 상호작용을 위하여 데이터 글러브나 마커 등을 이용하였다. 이는 사용에 불편함과 몰입감 저하가 발생했다. 증강현실에서 몰입감을 강화하기 위해서는 부가적인 입력장치의 제거가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 증강현실에서의 몰입감 향상을 위해 부가적인 입력장치의 착용없이 상호작용을 하기 위한 가상의 공간좌표 생성 기법을 제안한다. 획득한 영상을 2차원 공간상에 투영하고 소실선을 추출하여 투영된 가상공간좌표를 계산하여 2차원 좌표상에 투영하였다. 이러한 방법은 3차원 객체를 생성하기 위해 3D 모델러의 사용을 배제함으로써 객체 생성의 효율성을 증대할 수 있다.

ICT in the IOT era is the core basis of modern society. This study investigated and analyzed the recent commercialization trends of smart fashion products internationally and domestically, to utilize them as the basis of data for developing user-friendly smart fashion products that can meet the needs of consumers. Keyword research using the most representative search engines, Google and Naver was conducted for searching for various wearable items commercialized actively since 2010. The final 78 products were classified by the physical area, and the key features and benefits were analyzed. Smart fashion products were classified as four physical types for the head and face, torso, arms and hands, and ankles and feet. Smart fashion products for each body part were developed in various ways, such as hats, glasses, lenses, virtual screens, earphones, headsets, clothing, watches, wrist bands, gloves, rings, wallets, bags, anklets, shoes, socks, and insoles. The main features were music playback, bluetooth, a camera based on NFC, virtual effects, health and safety protection through measuring heartbeat and momentum, and social network sharing of all kinds of information, based on inter-working with a smartphone. These functions represent the physical, social, and emotional interactions among users and their surroundings, as well as the users, themselves. The research results are expected to be used in future studies on planning user-friendly and marketable products through in-depth analysis of the design characteristics of smart fashion products as well as consumer responses.

Researches on the gesture recognition have become a very interesting topic in the computer vision area, Gesture recognition from visual images has a number of potential applicationssuch as HCI (Human Computer Interaction), VR(Virtual Reality), machine vision. To overcome thetechnical barriers in visual processing, conventional approaches have employed cumbersome devicessuch as datagloves or color marked gloves. In this research, we capture gesture images without usingexternal devices and generate a gesture trajectery composed of point-tokens. The trajectory Is spottedusing phase-based velocity constraints and recognized using the discrete left-right HMM. Inputvectors to the HMM are obtained by using the LBG clustering algorithm on a polar-coordinate spacewhere point-tokens on the Cartesian space .are converted. A gesture vocabulary is composed oftwenty-two dynamic hand gestures for editing drawing elements. In our experiment, one hundred dataper gesture are collected from twenty persons, Fifty data are used for training and another fifty datafor recognition experiment. The recognition result shows about 95% recognition rate and also thepossibility that these results can be applied to several potential systems operated by gestures. Thedeveloped system is running in real time for editing basic graphic primitives in the hardwareenvironments of a Pentium-pro (200 MHz), a Matrox Meteor graphic board and a CCD camera, anda Window95 and Visual C++ software environment.

본 논문에서는 원격디스플레이를 제어하기 위하여 공중에서 섬세한 손동작을 인식할 수 있는 핸드 헬드형 포인팅 디바이스인 AirPincher를 제안한다. AirPincher는 현재 존재하고 있는 손동작 인식 기술 중 장갑을 이용한 기술과 디스플레이 근처에 설치하는 카메라를 이용한 기술의 단점을 극복하기 위해 고안되었다. 장갑을 이용한 기술은 사용 시 매번 탈착을 해야 하는 불편함이 존재하고 설치형 카메라를 이용한 기술은 사용자와 원격 디스플레이 간의 거리에 따라 제스처 인식 효율이 상이한 단점이 있다. 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위하여 AirPincher는 사용자가 한 손으로 디바이스를 잡고 사용하도록 설계되었다. 손가락 동작은 AirPincher에 탑재되어있는 근접한 센서들에 의해 인식되어 섬세한 손가락 움직임을 인식할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 AirPincher를 사용하는 두 가지 포인팅 방법을 제안하고 이들의 성능을 분석하기 위한 실험을 진행하였다. 실험은 AirPincher를 사용하기 위한 공중에서의 효율적인 가상 입력공간의 크기를 찾는 실험과 AirPincher를 사용한 연속 포인팅 방법과 불연속 포인팅 방법을 비교하는 실험으로 구성되었다.
