The purpose of this study were to compare light touch, two-point discrimination, position sense, and static balance ability and to examine the relationship of static balance ability and different senses in those who are wearing various heights of high-heeled shoes. Each 29 women was classified two different heights (below 3 cm, above 7 cm) by experience in wearing shoes. A t-test was used to determine the differences between low- and high-heeled shoe in light touch, two-point discrimination, position sense, and static balance ability. Pearson correlation was used to examine the relationship of static balance ability to these sensation. The results were as follows: 1) No significant differences in average light touch, position sense between two groups were found(p>0.05). But significant differences in average two-point discrimination, static balance ability were found(p<0.05). 2) Static balance ability was not significantly correlated with light touch, position sense, two-point discrimination(p>0.05). The results suggest that long time experience in wearing high-heeled shoe may be caused local sensory change and decreased static balance ability. Even though, static balance ability was not significantly affected but correlated with two-point discrimination, position sense, and light touch in order.

This paper presents an Electrotactile Display System (ETCS). One of the most important human sensory systems for human computer interaction is the sense of touch, which can be displayed to human through tactile output devices. To realize the sense of touch, electrotactile display produces controlled, localized touch sensation on the skin by passing small electric current. In electrotactile stimulation, the mechanoreceptors in the skin may be stimulated individually in order to display the sense of vibration, touch, itch, tingle, pressure etc. on the finger, palm, arm or any suitable location of the body by using appropriate electrodes and waveforms. We developed an ETCS and investigated effectiveness of the proposed system in terms of the perception of roughness of a surface by stimulating the palmar side of hand with different waveforms and the perception of direction and location information through forearm. Positive and negative pulse trains were tested with different current intensities and electrode switching times on the forearm or finger of the user with an electrode-embedded armband in order to investigate how subjects recognize displayed patterns and directions of stimulation.

Because of various stresses with rapid change of social structure, the number of the disabled increase steadily. So, the interest of touch garden which the disabled interact with nature and communicate with the non-disabled is more in demand. This study carried out a survey for landuse, facilities, therapeutic garden in creating touch gardens targeting the disabled using them. The results are as follows: At first, the appropriate natural facilities can lead return visit of the disabled. The second, general facilities for information and barrier-free are insufficient. The third, the disabled demand more places for sense of touch and vision, and, also they demand more places for feeling various living things and sense of the season. And the last, the disabled have no experience in therapeutic gardens, but they have consensus for creating special places for the disabled. This study carried out a survey for specially designated user such as the disabled, but through it, it is expected to establish developed design guidelines for creating touch gardens and therapeutic gardens.

본 논문에서는 촉감 처리기술의 특징인 VR기술과 햅틱디바이스인 Omni를 이용하여 VR공간에서 멀티 터치 포인터에 어류객체의 촉감을 제시하는 모델을 제안하고 가능성을 실험하였다. 본 실험을 위하여 Matlab/Simulink와 Handshake사의 proSENSE Virtual Touch Toolbox을 프로그래밍 툴로 사용하였고, 3D로 모델링 된 물고기 객체들의 자연스런 움직임을 묘사하기 위해 x, y, z축 각각의 움직임을 표현하는데 필요한 함수들을 사용하였다. 이러한 움직임들은 2명의 사용자가 각각 제어하는 멀티 포인트에 사실적인 물리 작용을 제공한다. 실험결과 3D 객체의 외형을 촉감만으로 인지하는 것과 숨 쉬는 상태를 촉감으로 느낄 수 있게 하는 것이 잘 표현되었고, 두 개의 멀티 포인터를 활용함으로 VR공간에서의 다중참여를 통한 게임이나 콘텐츠 개발이 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다.

This study was designed to measure taste sensitivity and the five basic senses by an educational classification instrument. The instrument was a rice kit that could use samples in a dry powder form or oil extract after long-term storage To test for taste, sucrose, salt, citric acid, and quinine sulfate were made at different concentrations and taste sensitivity was measured on a scale from level 1 to level 5. To obtain baseline data, an inspection tool for the five senses was used and randomly applied on 101 schoolchildren in the third and fourth grade in the city of Cheonan in Korea. The inspection tool was composed of 17 questions; 5 questions regarding visual characteristics and three questions each for characteristics regarding taste, hearing, smell, and touch. The average age of the schoolchildren was 9.5 years old and there were 49 third grade students (9 years of age), and 52 fourth grade students (ten years of age). There were slightly more male students than female students, 56 (55.4%) compared to 45 (44.6%), respectively. The average height of female students was higher than that of males, but the average BMI (body mass index) of the male students was slightly higher than that of female students (18.28 compared to 18.09, respectively). Female students were slightly more sensitive to salty tastes than male students (2.8 compared to 2.5, respectively). In the score distribution for each sense, touch sense was the highest at 7.59, sight sense was 7.49, hearing sense was 5.43, smell sense was 5.24, and taste sense was lowest at 3.69. Therefore, schoolchildren first tend to recognize and deem important the touch and sight of food before its taste.

The 1960s is a decade that is marked by new concepts of art making and art appreciation. Starting from Fluxus, the new art in the 1960s such as Happenings and performance art pursued the process of art making as an integral part of artistic experience. The traditional concept of art works that only appeal to vision soon became a site of contentious experiments and innovations in which the experience of seeing is accompanied by other sensual encounters of sound, smell, touch, and taste. These attempts can be seen as a revolutionary move to restore the sense of corporeality to the act of seeing that has been disembodied by the way in which western art has built the unifying, homeogenous field of vision. This paper delves into the works of Fluxus artists - Daniel Spoerri, Ben Vautier, Alison Knowles, Ay-O, and Takako Saito - who were central figures in taking art into the new age of post-ocularcentrism. Exploring the sense of smell, touch, and taste, these artists led the viewer to participate in their art making with the incorporated vision.

In recent years, the use of touch screens has expanded, and devices such as remote controllers have been developed in various ways to control and access contents at long range. The wireless-based touch screen is used in classroom, seminar room, and remote video conversation in addition to the TV remote control. The purpose of the study is to design a smart phone-based intuitive interface that can perform the role of a wireless mouse and a wireless keyboard at range using Bluetooth and to develop an application that integrates functions of a mouse and a keyboard. Firstly, touch interaction model for controlling software such as PowerPoint by connecting to a general PC on a smart phone has been studied. The most simple touch operation interface is used to reproduce the function of existing devices and design more simply. The studies of the extension of interfaces with various functions are important, but development of optimized interfaces for users will become more important in the future. In this sense, this study is valuable.

가상현실 콘텐츠 개발은 현실 세계처럼 체험하는 것이 목적이다. 몰입감과 상호 작용은 콘텐츠를 실제처럼 경험하기 위해 매우 중요한 요소이다. 사용자와 상호 작용하여 실제처럼 체험할 수 있으려면 인간의 오감을 느낄 수 있도록 하는 입·출력 장치가 필요하다. 다양한 입·출력 디바이스 중에 가상현실에서는 시각과 청각을 자극하는 장치가 가장 대표적이다. 최근에 보다 실제와 같은 체험을 위해 촉각을 자극하는 슈트와 장갑이 출시되고 있지만, 기술적 한계로 실제 콘텐츠에 적용되는 사례는 많지 않다. 본 논문에서는 가상 세계에서 손의 움직임과 터치를 감지 할 수 있는 가상현실 장갑을 분석한다. 분석을 바탕으로 기존 가상현실 장갑에 사용 된 피드백 방식의 진동을 이용하여 UI/ UX를 개선하고 촉각으로 VR(Virtual Reality) 객체와의 충돌의 강도를 감지할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 또한 알고리즘을 통해 구현 된 시스템을 실제 사례에 적용하고 검증한다.

This Paper presents some of challenges of creating feedback force, through manipulation of master manipulator, allowing the user to feel objects within a virtual environment. A sense of touch for the virtual environment. A sense of touch for the virtual environments was generated by a virtual compliance control method. In theis system data communication between the master and slave, we used TCP protocol. In the experiments. A position error between the master and slave arm was about $13.56^{\circ}$ in case that the master and slave arm had not compliance properties of the virtual object, while they have the its properties the position error reduced by $2.43^{\circ}$.
